I'm Back!!

Did ya miss me?? We have been in vacation mode for 10 straight days!! Eight of them were spent down in the mountains of Tennessee with my in laws. And the last two were here at home. We had a great time in Tennessee. It is a looong drive (11 1/2 hours one way) for us and with our two girlies I was def dreading it. BUT on the way down we stopped in Virginia at spent the night at Peters Aunts house. That was so nice to break up the drive.

This big girl is now sitting up and both her and mama are luving it! Yay! And shes 7 months old!!!!!! We had a wonderful relaxing time. My in laws own a cabin rental business (check out thier website HERE)so we got to tag along with them while they did thier duties, we took a few hikes, played in thier creek, hung out on thier beautiful back deck, went in the hot tub many times (that was Noni's favorite thing to do), played games and had a campfire. Peter and I got to go on 2 dates while we were there and Noni and Evey got lots of Nee-Nee and Poppy time! (Thnx again Nee-Nee) There is no cell phone service there and very slow internet so we were "unplugged" for the week which was sooo nice. I really enjoyed not having to think about much and I could just be. I read almost a whole book which is a big deal for me. It always is so nice to be able to visit L and c. :) Oh and the absolute best part was I didn't have to think about or make any dinners. She took care of it all and Peter cooked one meal. It truly was a vacation for me. *smile* (U ladies know what Im talking about)

The amazing, fun, wonderful, sweet, generous, and beautiful NEE-NEE!

Buggie time!- another one of Nonis favorite things to do!

family hike!

Hot tub fun! It was raining in this pic.

Campfire and smores right by the creek! What more could you want?!?!

Noni would go off with Nee-Nee and Poppy as much as she could. She had so much fun "helping" them with things!

In honor of thier Grandkids they have named each of the cabins after each one and made a sign for them. Isnt that so sweet? I think it is so cute and adds such character to the cabins. I wanted a pic of the girls by thier sign but guess who wouldn't cooperate.

CHEESE! When I want to take her pic she says no way but if she wants me to take it she is all smiles!!!! The ride home was a little tough. We left at 1 a.m. thinking they would sleep most of the time. I was tired and cranky and Nonah whined off and on, did not sleep real great in her carseat and then had a melt down at about 2 hours to go. She just cried and screamed a little and didn't want to get out of the car at the gas station and was just miserable. Evey slept most of the time but also was really cranky the last two hours. But we survived and slept when we got home and did nothin the next day and are now all caught up on sleep. Now its back to reality!!!
