Happy WeekENDING

Despite my Saturday "moment", we had a pretty good weekend...in hindsight. Baby girl woke up on Sunday morning around 1:30 am throwing up. Not fun! We did the whole bathing, stripping the sheets, trying to not get sick myself routine. I had her back in bed by 2:30 ish and spent the night on the floor in her bedroom. I really hated hearing her "choking" on the monitor, so I opted to be close to her upstairs just incase it happened again. Thank the good Lord in heaven, Amara slept through the rest of the night without a peep. It must have been something that she ate. Although, I ate the same thing and I was fine. Who knows!?!....babies!

 I think it is safe to say that she was very happy to see me laying on the floor when she woke up. I got her out of her crib and asked her to shut the door, so she couldn't wander out. Then, I went back to "sleep" while she brought me every book off her her bookshelf, and placed them next to my head....sweetness.

We got to meet up with some friends on Saturday morning at this super cute coffee and crepe house in Franklin. It has a little area where kids can play, which is just a Godsend really :). Here are a few pics from our morning.

Beautiful mommy, Rachel, and sweet baby Malachi ....the new addition to the kid club ;)

 This girl will eat almost anything that she can dip. Who wouldn't want to dip something into whipped cream?

Thanks for making us a part of your Monday reads! It means so much...truly!

Randomness...

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I sure did! Gabe was gone on Saturday, so Amara and I got to spend some time with family. We ventured out for some cinnamon doughnuts and home made orangeade (YUM) at the Farmer's Market. On Sunday, we got to do our usual cleaning of the studio and then headed to church, which was so amazing as always. I am still having a hard time walking away from the door at the nursery knowing that Amara is crying. Why do I like to look? Just drop off and walk away....it is so hard for me though. 

Not only is eating out my absolute FAVORITE thing to do, but it is especially so on Sundays. However, we opted out of Sunday lunch since we knew we would be going to dinner that night ($$), and I am actually glad we did. It was pouring rain when we left church so it was so nice to just come home and all of us rest. I stripped Amara down to her diaper and let her play in the bed with Gabe and I ......those are some of the fondest memories I will keep! I actually didn't do any cleaning......we just relaxed and it was perfection!!

Then, later that evening, we celebrated my mother-in-laws birthday at an amazing sushi spot called Wild Ginger. Amara did sooooooo well! I was a proud mama. Gabe had to work today, which is a bummer, but it is a big opportunity and that man will do whatever it takes to provide for his family. I am thankful for that daily....sometimes more than once daily :). He leaves again tomorrow for a WHOLE WEEK!! Bummer.....

I am digging down deep to find strength for him to be away for these longer tour runs. I truly respect single moms on a whole different level now. I am so lucky to at least have family around, but sometimes you just want your spouse. Amara is doing so many new fun things daily, and I know he hates to miss it all, but thank goodness for amazing technology these days.

This is all kind of a random post with pics from the weekend.....I don't usually do weekend recaps, but I am feeling crazy today ;)

Happy Monday everyone!!!

My little sister, Jordan and my mom ( yes, I know we look alike, and it doesn't help matters
when we wear the same exact shirt, but in different colors. Totally unplanned! )

Amara sits in high chairs and stroller side ways.......so strange, that kid!
