A Summer Weekend Recap

Hi! How was your weekend? I am amazed at how much Jose and I need to accomplish over the weekend. I’m still pretty much stuck at home during the week so when Saturday arrives it’s, “ready, set, GO!” around here! I am very lucky to be able to stay at home with my kids and recuperate on Mondays from the exhausting but fun weekends.

On Saturday we went to a very good friend’s 3rd birthday pool party. The boys had an amazing time! What a great idea for a summer birthday. My friend Diana looked so relaxed as she hosted and every child had so much fun. No need for entertainers or a mess at home! The weather was also perfect: warm enough to swim but overcast skies. No sunburns here.

Quick snack between laps!

The past seven weeks have been rough, no doubt. Jordi is our latest little blessing that has turned our house upside down. I hate to blame it on him! He sleeps all the time! My little sweet boy. And not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate my friends and family back home. This small group of BFFs are always my life savers. Despite it being postpartum week number seven, gifts still came in the mail for Jordi, I keep getting checking-up-on-you texts by friends and even flowers from Jose. Another BFF rescued me this week by simply answering the phone and demanding I call her back as soon as I could. The best gift this week was a good hearty laugh I had when I opened up a box that came for me in the mail. [Read more...]
