Wowzer. I mean, a whole month without a post? I need to really make more time to blog...huh?
The thing is, I wish I could tell you that I have been super busy studying and stuff...but honestly I haven't. I guess I have just been having too much fun!! You know what they say...Time fly's when you are having FUN!
Alright. So maybe I have been wasting my time doing things like watching all three seasons of Scandal, taking bubble baths, and enjoying the warm weather by riding my bike, laying out, and hanging out with friends constantly.
Back in March, over spring break, Carly and I headed down to Miami to visit my cute sister Melissa and her cute family. I know I used cute in that sentence twice, but seriously. There if I could just take Melissa's three kids home with me, I would.
Me and Carly flew down on a Friday morning, and stayed until the following Thursday. We couldn't have had more fun. Carly got along with my family so well (I knew she would, there was no doubt about that) The kids loved her. Hannah was our little shadow. Like most 6 year olds, Hannah thinks she is older than she is. She followed us around shopping, layed out with us at the beach, and gave us her opinion in all of our deep conversations. One night at the mall, Carly was trying on a swimsuit. When Hannah saw her modeling the swimsuit in the dressing room, she grabbed my hand and quickly took me to the front of the store. "I want to try something on too!" This was a older girl store, it didn't have kid clothes. Nothing in the store was Hannah's size. But before I could explain this too her she had disappeared back to the dressing room. I ran back, only to find Hannah in a dressing room trying on a pair of shorts. That's right, she had found a size 00 pair of shorts that were very skimpy. Hannah believed they were her size. I couldn't help but laugh. She showed off the shorts to Carly and the store clerks. It was hilarious. Oh Hannah, you will always be my silly, sweet Hannah-Banana. After looking at most of the stores in the mall, I took Hannah to Bath and Body Works. I let her pick out her favorite scent. She got a small perfume and lotion called "Maui" which she loved.
Jackson also had a great time keeping me and Carly entertained. He is such a funny guy, and full of energy. My favorite moment with Jackson was on the last day. Carly's flight was earlier than mine, so we took her to the airport a few hours earlier than me. When we got back from dropping Carly off, Melissa layed Jane down for a nap. I took Jackson in the backyard. We had such a good time playing soccer, football, digging in the dirt, and chasing Lizards. I love my little man.
Jane. Oh sweet baby Jane. I can not get over this chunky baby. If I am sad, mad, or stressed, I can think about baby Jane, and it is like an instant happiness booster. She is nut! She is SO funny and entertaining! My favorite Jane moment over the trip would have to be when me and Carly took her home early from church. The time zones had just changed so she didn't want to go down for a nap. She wasn't tired. So we painted her nails. Never have I seen such a pleasant baby. Willing to sit still while we painted her fingers and toes. She didn't wiggle once. She just sat there watching with a big smile on her face. You could tell she loved it. I also loved at the mall when Melissa was going to take Jackson and Jane to the play place to meet some friends, while me and Carly took Hannah shopping. We all ate dinner together and when Melissa left with Jane and Jackson, they got about half way out the food court when Jane realized that I wasn't there. She came running back to the table and said VERY loudly and VERY clearly, "COME ON ASH!" It was so precious. I walked her back to Melissa. She is my little baby Jane!
The trip was so much fun overall. I can not wait to see my tiny peeps in June!
My heart is in Miami
