In May, Mark and the kids gifted me with a full weekend.  It started with an evening out with nothing but my laptop and Starbucks.  I was able to make some progress on Emmie’s baby book, catch up on blog posts and get a small bit of shopping done.  It was heavenly and I think will be a regular treat/work day for me too!

Saturday brought breakfast and cards and sweet wishes for the day.  

Then we headed to the pet store to do something insane. But I think we all agree it was much needed.  More on that tomorrow.

After that, Zoe, Ceil Rain, and Emmie and I attended the Mother-Daughter picnic at our church.  It was such a blessing to be with these amazing women who have lifted our family up in prayers so much this year.  Emmie enjoyed meeting a friend who is only a couple of days younger than  her.
