Pool Party and Popsicles

Happy 4th!

I have been having the most glorious time with my mother in town. We took the journey to the west coat Saturday to spend time with my sister, niece and brother in law. I am so happy my sister is so close and we could all spend this holiday together. We indulged in all the traditional fourth of July festivities swimming, beer, barbecue, and fireworks.

Happy Easter

I am so lucky to now have my sister and her family within driving distance. They have lived on the west coast of Florida for a little over a year but just 12 days ago they moved into a house of their very own. Despite having less than two weeks to move in my sis graciously invited our sister Ruthie and I to come over for Easter. We spent the entirety of today swimming in their backyard pool and stuffing ourselves with a cajun boil made solely by my ridiculously sweet brother in law. As we lounged in the pool he slaved away on our very untraditional Easter dinner. Thank you Scott!
