It was such a beautiful day today! The weather was perfect. Laurel and I started our morning around 6:30 and everyone else made their way up about 8. We made waffles for daddy and then gave him our cards and the purple tie the boys picked out for him. Of course he will be wearing it tomorrow - although with what we have yet to decide since it is VERY purple. Since it was such a gorgeous day, we decided to spend it at the lake. We drove over to Guntersville State Park and went to the beach they have there for several hours. We picnicked and swam and the boys had the best time. Then we drove to the fishing area, jumped someone's car off that had been there since 10 that morning, and fished for a while. We didn't catch anything -mainly due to all the jet skis around us, but it was such a lovely area...very secluded with tables and filtered lighting. Laurel loved just walking around and I actually read some of my new book - The Condition. The two small ones napped on the way home and when we got home, we took advantage of the summer solstice and took a bike ride around the neighborhood. Then it was the trampoline, catching lightening bugs and now baths and bed. We had a very full and exciting day, but also very peaceful and relaxing. Back to the grind tomorrow! We all also decided our dream home would be on the lake since we love the smell and the trees and listening to the water hit the shore. Maybe one day! Fingers crossed!
We are a family of two loving parents who are trying hard to make the right decisions and still remember what our life truly means, two funny boys who are 8 and 5 and a baby girl who is just over a year old.
