It's good to be home...


I've been a little MIA for the last couple of days...Olive and I are now here in FL visiting family and friends. We arrived yesterday and have been having a great time ever since. Little Olive absolutely adores her grandparents and is having so much fun with them. Today we did some visiting with great-grandparents too, which was good. Today was also a wonderful day because I got a little reprieve. I got my hair done by my mom's regular guy (who did a fabulous job) and I felt so pampered! Then tonight, after Olive hit the sack, I met up with some old friends for dinner and dessert at this great little bistro (owned by some folks we know, making it all the more fun). So all in all, our trip has been absolutely perfect so far. My mom has lots of other fun activities planned for us while we're here and it's so great to be able to take little Olive to do things now that she's enjoying them. I'll try to figure out how to upload some of the pictures onto this computer and post them this weekend. Unfortunately, Dennis is not with us, but Olive is pointing him out in every picture so we don't feel like he's too far away! There's something to be said about going home...it's so relaxing and comforting to be surrounded by people who love you more than anything in the world, seeing both the familiar and the new, and enjoying a change of scenery. This town has evolved so much since I left all those years ago and it's fun to explore it all over again. Hope your weekends are as great as mine!

We DO love you more than anything in the world. Dinner was so much fun. :) I was getting tired on the way home, but now my insomnia is back so I'm messing around online. I'm excited about taking Olive to the park on Monday!! :)
