Mommy / Raelee Day!

As of yesterday evening, Jordyn is spending two nights with Grammy and Poppy.  While Raelee and I have been busy getting the house ready, food purchased and games ready for Aunt Annie's baby shower this weekend, we did take a little break this afternoon and headed to the pool.  These close-up shots are very telling...YIKES!  Tonight, while Daddy is working late and Mason is in bed, we are curling up, watching HOP, and enjoying a little R&R.

Another Boo Boo

Tuesday, Mason decided to chase Raelee around the house.  In doing so, he had an encounter with the corner of the wall in our kitchen.  It definitely left a mark...

Carnival Fascination...Cruise 2012

Sunday, July 29th, we left the house at 5:00 a.m. to head to Jacksonville, FL to board the Carnival Fascination for five nights, six days.  First, Mommy had the dreaded drop-off of little man at Grammy and Poppy's.  While I knew he would be well taken care of by Grammy, Poppy, Mamaw and Papaw, I knew we'd miss him terribly.  After dropping Mason off, we hit the road for an 11 1/2 hour journey to Jacksonville.  We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express just a few miles from Jaxport.  We arrived around 5:00 p.m. EST in Jacksonville, had dinner, spent the night and woke the next morning to be shuttled to Jaxport where the fun would begin.  It was a rainy start on Monday, July  30th to our vacation, but overall the weather was perfect, the food was good, the stops were beautiful and the girls had a blast.  Here are a few pics that capture some our favorite moments.
