The kids and I just returned from our second annual girls (plus Jack) weekend at the beach. Mom and I drove down with the kids and met Malinda and Jocie (and Josh for one night) at North Myrtle. The weather was horrible (windy and cold), but it was wonderful to get away and to spend time together. The hotel’s indoor lazy river was a big hit with Emma Kate and Jack (and gave us something to do despite the weather). We actually never stepped foot on the beach (too cold… brrr!), but we will make up for that in a few weeks when we head to Hilton Head! The highlight of my trip was bonding with Baby Jocie… who, for some reason, really seemed to take a liking to me. Of course, I ate this up and will be terribly disappointed if her stranger anxiety kicks in next visit and she wants nothing to do with me! Emma and Jack really enjoyed Jocie, and we were all amazed by her big girl accomplishments… she is crawling, pulling to standing, and quite a little busy body! The trip downer for me was somehow managing to run Mom’s van into the pole in the parking garage (matching the scratches and dents Malinda had previously added to the other side!). I feel blessed to be able to spend time with family, and I look forward to doing it again soon!
