Doughnuts with Dad

March 5, 2018

On Thursday of last week, Spencer and Samantha had Doughnuts with Dad up at school! They were all pretty excited…

but didn’t get too long to hang out because we thought it started at 9:00 but it was actually from 8:30 to 9:00. Oh well! They still had enough time for a doughnut and a quick visit!

Love Spencer’s art for Robert…

Robert does like football and pizza but, while he does a LOT of things in the yard, pulling weeds is my job! Who knows what goes through Spencer’s mind some days.

Love these cute kids and their cute dad!

As I mentioned last month, Robert and I celebrated 10 years of marriage in January! To celebrate he surprised me with a trip to the Bahamas – woohoo! The weather gods tried to keep us from our fun by bringing some ice to Birmingham and Atlanta but we didn’t let that stop us. After too many cancellations by Delta, we ended up driving over to Atlanta Wednesday night in order to be there to catch our flight on Thursday. We were in the Bahamas by lunchtime that day!

We stayed at The Ocean Club in Paradise Island and it was beautiful. Truly beautiful – the hotel, the grounds, the art – all of it was just perfect.

The weather was slightly on the chilly side so no swimming but plenty of lying in the sun with a good book. We also visited the spa and ate lots of good food. Not much more I could ask for! At times, I even got a little more than I could ask for thanks to our room butlers…

haha! We did not expect that in our room Saturday afternoon!

We had dinner in Nassau the first night at Cafe Matisse and it was excellent. On the night of our anniversary we ate at Dune at the hotel and it was fantastic.

On Saturday night we took a car over to the Atlantis to explore and check out the fish…

and let Robert play craps while I did some really good people watching!

We had a great dinner at Nobu too.

Overall the trip was better than we had hoped – relaxing and fun and wonderful! And when you’re traveling alone you get to take lots of selfies! Robert loved that. 🙂

Meanwhile, back on the home front, GJ and Daddo were so nicely holding down the fort…with a little help from Susan too!

I’m so grateful for the time away with my favorite husband! 🙂 The sun, the sand, and the time alone were the best way to ring in another decade!

I love you Robert! Thank you for the wonderful celebration!! Where are we going for 20?!

Mermaid dance party

February 8, 2018

We celebrated Samantha’s 3rd party last weekend with a party at the place where she does dance. It wasn’t just any party though, it was a mermaid party!

The whole thing was about as cute as it gets. The girls in tutus, the Little Mermaid music playing on the piano, Samantha twirling and twirling and twirling! It was all of my little girl dreams…ummm, I mean Samantha’s little girl dreams come true! 🙂
