Back on Track

I am desperately trying to get back on track to blogging regularly again. I was so disappointed when I was looking at September's entries and noticed there were only three. Three! That is just unacceptable. So here is part one of a multi-entry attempt at catching y'all up...

We have been in Virginia Beach for almost two weeks now while Farrah (AKA USS Farragut) and Mike have their whirlwind adventures. With my feeling so poorly lately and having a husband gone all the time, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to head to Virginia Beach to visit family (read: have extra help with Grace and have my mama cook all my favorite foods).

Here's what we were up to before heading up to the Beach:

We watched Elmo and friends live...





We searched daily for lizards in our bushes and spiders in our doorframe...




I let Grace have her fill of Krispy Kreme donuts. And the amazing part is I didn't eat a single one. And if you knew me when I was pregnant with Grace, you know how much I LOVE those Krispy Kreme donuts! It's amazing to me how different my cravings are with this pregnancy.



We had to say goodbye to some good friends. Our neighbor and dear friends, the Rinas family, will be moving while we are visiting in Virginia Beach. I hate that we won't be there to say goodbye when they move to Washington state. Grace is such a sweet little playmate to Grace, and her mama, Joan, has been the dearest kind of friend. Joan has watched Grace countless times and was always around to bring me meals and just keep me company when I wasn't feeling the best. I will miss her immensely, but I wish them the best of luck as they start their new adventure.
