A FEW THINGS FOR MONDAY

I always love the start of a new week. It just feel fresh!

We had a fun weekend with a last-minute surprise visit from my mom, dad, and sister, and we all have such a good time with them when they are in town. Ayla immediately started showing off and doing all her cute/fun things for them when we got up in the morning, and played so hard with them all day long. We stayed in for the morning, and then went into town for lunch and a little trip to Costco and of course a coffee/smoothie stop. I got hit with some kind of stomach bug in the afternoon and ended up spending most of the rest of the day in bed, but thankfully I woke up the next morning feeling much better.

My family stayed around for Sunday morning, and then headed back for home around ten o’clock. We had leftover burgers for lunch (always grateful for a husband who will eat leftovers) and took a little walk outside in the sunshine in the afternoon. The weather has been playing with my emotions lately, and it’s felt like springtime all during the week and then suddenly it turns cold again. Southern winters for ya!
