Well things have been super busy lately, but I wouldn't change it for the world - its making time go by faster! At least it seems like it's going by quickly. I have some wonderful neighbor friends who we do lots of stuff with and it seems like we're always on the go. My poor house and chores also suffer from us being "busy" not just my blog! As much as I love my friends and doing things, there are days when I just want to sit home and relax. I had one of those days on Saturday and I was knocking out chores left and right... then I get a text from my mom telling me I need to come visit my Granddad soon because he just isn't looking too well. After a few back and forth with text messages and a phone call, I decided to make a trip down to visit my parents and also my Granddad. I told my mom not to tell my Dad, because I was going to drive through the night and wake my dad up in the morning as a surprise for Father's Day! That's exactly what I did, I left a couple hours early so I could miss some storms forming around us. I drove through amazing lightning shows for hours, a little bit of rain, LOTS of giant bugs, and finally rolled up to my parents' house at 6am. C was super excited to be going to 'Papa's House'! She couldn't wait to wake him up and surprise him!
I just have to say that driving the 8 hours was entirely worth it to see his face. He was bragging to everyone about his surprise for Father's Day. I wish my husband was here for this special day, but I think we made his day special with his own Father's Day package! We sent him two cakes in a jar (he loved them!), some cards, an album full of pictures (he requested this), some artwork from C, and a new iPod cover. I also made him an imprint of A's foot but he wanted me to keep that at home so it wouldn't chance being broken on the way there or on the way back. I'm enjoying my time with family but missing my home with all the baby gadgets (i.e. swing, etc) and just the comfort of being in your own home. I know my parents are enjoying this time, so maybe it'll buy me a few more months before they start begging for me to come back down again?! We'll see!
