Meet me in St. Louis!

What a fun weekend I had!  I went to St. Louis to visit my besties – girls that I’ve known forever.  Really, forever.  I met one in pre-school, one in kindergarten and one in 7th grade.  We’ve all stayed friends and make it a point to get together as often as possible even though none of us even live in the same state anymore.  My friend, Hannah, moved to St. Louis last year so we decided to take a little trip to see her new town.  Meet me in St. Louis!!  🙂

We had a blast and laughed until we cried.  It does me good to spend time with these girls and I can’t wait until we can do it again.  Did someone say Mexico??!!

Me with Laura and Andee…

Me and Hannah…

The crew…

I also loved getting to see Joshua, Hannah’s 3 year old cutie.  Joshua is getting a baby sister in only 2 months so Maxwell, Ellis, Livi and Reese wanted to send him a special Big Brother present…

I think it was a hit!

A BIG thank you to all of our husbands for watching the babies and holding down their respective forts.  I think Robert and Maxwell had a blast of a weekend.  I know it involved a trip to Bass Pro so it couldn’t have been too bad!  While I loved chatting with my friends, my favorite part of the day was when I would see an email from Robert that included a picture of my little buddy.  There’s nothing better than opening an email and seeing this smiling face….

Robert and Maxwell also took a trip to Barnes & Noble on Sunday before I got home.  Maxwell wandered off and this is where Robert found him…

Harlequin Romance.  I always knew he’d be a lover, not a fighter.

I had SO MUCH FUN with my girls but I sure was glad to get back home to my two boys last night.

In other not so good news, Maxwell’s great-grandmother Susu took a bad fall last week and has a broken pelvis.  She’s a loyal blog reader and half the reason I even do this blog is for her.  I would love it if you all would keep her in your thoughts and send her wishes for a speedy recovery.  We love you Susu!

Here’s to a great week ahead for everyone!
