After weeks/months on non-stop busy-ness, we had the most wonderful weekend...started on Friday with me sending off my weekly update to the Hovde campaign, wrapping up my work and literally shutting the door to my office. Headed straight to the garden to putz, mow, sweep, rake and water...everything is looking beautiful.
While Chris and Peter went off to his baseball game (I never miss a game, but...) and Emma went off to practice at 4, I got things together for dinner on our porch with the Mlsnas. Chris briefly left the game to pick up the chicken kabobs when PETER HIT A HOME RUN! We missed it and we NEVER miss his games. Anyway, he was happy...they also won the hard fought game by one point with Peter getting a walk and walking in the run.
Had such a good night with the Mlsnas...we talked about how much fun it was when they were our next door neighbors...loved watching their kids as babies! Best nights were the summers around the fire with their baby monitor on our deck! Emma and Peter were both home, much to Jacob and Hannah's delight, and we ate and talked and sat by the fire making s'mores.
Saturday arrived and we basically did nothing. Everyone was happy when I said it was a "do whatever you want to and don't do anything you don't want to" day...I read, napped, did some laundry, putzed in the garden, ate Laredos with Chris on the porch and loved every minute! Sunday was more of the same and then we all went to Peter's game in the evening....for as awesome as Friday night's game was, last night's was not...they all played like poop.
Emma was with us a lot...and we all love that. I am trying not to think about August 18th, dropping her off at Butler...we are going to miss her presence so much, BUT she is ready, happy and so excited so we are too!
Love weekends like this! xoxo, Heidi
