Goodbye is too hard

My Mom left us today to go home. I've cried a few times. I think it has something to do with pregnancy because I'm not usually so emotional. But, it also has to do with the fact that I'm so far away from my family support system that I'm used to. The support is always there, just in a different way now.

She was here for 2 weeks and it just wasn't long enough! :D It kind of reminded me of the awesome sour patch kid commercials - sour. sweet. gone. - except in a different order = sweet. gone. sour.

I feel like I'm now running into a wall even though it doesn't look like there should be one there.  I need people to serve to pull me back into my own routine - any takers? really.


To Mumsy, I have to say thank you! We had so much fun and worked so hard to get a lot done! It would have taken me a month to do all the yard work we did this week. I can't thank you enough! I LOVE YOU!

And to Preston, thanks for being here for me. Unfortunately, you're not the same support as my mom, so hang in there while I get back to "normal." You are so good to me. I LOVE YOU!

To Brayden, I seriously love watching you play with your Grandy. You adore her so much! I love how you would go looking for her in the morning. You're going to miss her too and I'll try so hard to be what you need me to be. I LOVE YOU!

When Mumsy Comes to Visit. . .

We get lots of play time! We went to Daytona and Orlando over Spring break and enjoyed the beach and Disney World. Now, we're back home and there's a helping hand with the yard work while B naps. So nice! Did I mention that I'M the helping hand? Mumsy does most of the hard stuff. But, I'm learning. . .

Anyway, here's the pictures (and I mean, way too many pictures, but I loved them all!).

THE BEACH - Let's just say Brayden is a beach boy. . . probably could have stayed there all day.

There was a section of the beach that was all shells. . . we literally couldn't see any sand, just broken shells.

hugs

and kisses

PLAYING AT THE RESORT- they had lots of fun activities!

 One of my favorite moments. . . Brayden wanted to do the slide by himself FACE FIRST! He did it once with Daddy's help, but this time he didn't slow down. . .

. . . which makes for a mouth full of sand.

put the ball in the hole. . . that's the point right?

clean up

Yay for cleaning up!

Our own game- curling on a shuffle board court. . . Curlboard?

He loved Shuffleboard! 

THE TEMPLE

That bird found a nice home. . .

ANIMAL KINGDOM

Brayden loved the safari ride!

His favorite was the giraffe because it was so close up!

Pooped from a fun day.

MAGIC KINGDOM- loved the rides, hated the lines. Why do we have to stand still for 20 minutes, right? 

"But I don't want to let Pooh Bear go!!"

Brayden standing in the front of the boat during It's a Small World. That was his all time favorite ride. He danced to the music the whole time and was mesmerized by it.

"So Big" on Daddy's shoulders

Asleep before we even left. And he stayed that way through the trams and the car ride home!

And if you made it this far then you've seen some pretty darn cute pictures of our little Brayden. It was a great Spring Break and we look forward to Disney in May again to use the rest of our passes!
