PRESIDENT'S DAY TRIP

Since we moved to Memphis, one of our biggest priorities is to make sure that Kelly can go visit the kids in Florida as much as financially and physically possible. So far, it has worked out that either the kids come to Tennessee or Kelly goes to Florida every month. I (of course) love it when they come here, because that means Jude and I get to see their sweet faces too.

In February, Kelly went to see fantastic four over the President's Day 3-day weekend. Daddy and the crew had a wonderful long weekend together. The kids love staying in a hotel, it's kind of a mini-adventure for them. Rece had a basketball game where he scored 4 points and was a defensive machine! And Bryce hit a home-run at baseball practice! My husband being a big sports-fan and athlete, was over-flowing with so much daddy-pride. I adored getting the phone calls and hearing the excitement/pride/happiness that filled his voice as he explained what the boys had done. Precious daddy.As usual, it was a beautiful weekend in Florida. They enjoyed the sunshine taking a nature walk on Castaway Island and playing basketball at Sunshine Park.

Below are some pictures from the weekend.

I sent them this pic message reminding

them to remember to brush their teeth

They sent this one back :)

Monday night, we headed to pick Daddy up from the airport. Jude was so excited to see him and immediately started his sweet happy giggle. As we approached the house, Kelly was greeted with a surprise. While he was gone, I was a busy, busy wife cleaning out and organizing our garage. You might think this is kind of a lame surprise. But, to my slightly OCD/neat husband, it's heaven on earth. He talked about his surprise for days, which made up for all the manual, manly labor I had to endure to complete the garage.

For now, I am just counting down the days (4 weeks) until the kids come to Memphis for Spring Break and we are all together again! Love to you and yours~ Anna
