I was so, so excited to be spending a few days with my family and
sweet nieces!
I arrived Thursday evening to smiles and hugs! Friday was
gray and cloudy - not the ideal beach weather so we stayed in and
played.
I love how these two love each other.
My friend Courtney came to visit Friday night. I was SO excited to get to spend a couple hours with her and little life God's creating in her. Isn't she the cutest little momma!
I woke up very, very sick the wee hours of Saturday morning. The rest of Saturday was spent in bed, missing out on a visit with Aunt Nan and Uncle Bill and the day with my family :(
Sunday I felt better but weak and sore from being sick the day before. I wasn't up for eating yet and unfortunately spent another day taking it easy, just taking in these sweet faces.
I did make it down to the pool to watch the girls swim and play. I'm very proud of Maggie's kickboard kicking and astonished by Nora's fearlessness.
Late afternoon, Maggie and I went down to the beach. She's such a cutie.
Ama and PapaT joined us for the sunset.
Maggie and PapaT took a beautiful sunset walk.
I'm a mountain girl at heart but a beach sunset can be pretty heavenly.
Early, early Monday morning, Dayna and I woke up to a very, very sick
Nora. I had really hoped my sickness was due to something I ate and
therefore not contagious but once Nora started getting sick we knew that
wasn't the case. We spent the wee hours of the morning on tag team
puke/laundry patrol.
After the rough morning, Maggie and I went down to the pool.
We worked on her swimming.
After lunch, Ama and I took Maggie down to the beach to build a sandcastle.
our creation! a shell decorated sandcastle complete with blue crab guard.
My last morning, Dayna and I got to spend a little sister time.
This trip definitely didn't go as planned (Maggie, then Dad, then Dayna and Mom all got the stomach bug after I left Tuesday afternoon). But I guess that's how it goes sometimes... it was still nice to all be together.
