Vacation and Memories

We just returned on Saturday night from being in Massachusetts for a week and I already miss it. It brought back GREAT memories.

Nights of playing frisbee at Simonds Park with the Gang.

Ice cream at Mac's on RT 38 in Tewksbury.

IFC

Wonderful time in Children's church.

Having Dunkin Donuts on every corner and w/in miles of each other.

Friends from High School and church.

Silver Lake

ROCKPORT!!!!

NH

Worcester and my 1st real apartment

and the list can go on.

I went to see the house my mom grew up in and then we moved into when I was 15. They've changed it....definitely a great improvement, but now it doesn't look like "my house." Saw our old neighbor and learned her husband (who was 80 something) died 4 years ago.

Ate some great food, saw the ocean, and most of all got to see some awesome friends!

Was it a good vacation? Nope....it was GREAT!!!

One more time.....

My daughter is so adorable at age 3. All week I've been at the church either helping Miss Kitty (our church secretary/admin assistant) or decorating, organizing, etc. for VBS. She's been w/ the babysitters there, but she hasn't sqwaked about being there.

The first day she woke up, I told her we need to get ready to go to church. She said, "I have to see Luke and Sadie....tell them 'bout Tiny Tim." My friend from MA told her this cute story. She loves it.

Today she was heard screaming.....AHHHHH Thunder. She loves thunder stormes. She really does. I think it's cute.

She's been super good this week. I'm praying she's this good next week, especially since I'll have to wake her up to be at the church @ 7:30....being part of the Staff is part of the job. I'm excited. We have about 75 kids signed up....not sure how much staff, but I'm sure it will all come together.

I hear her playing and talking .... the cute things she says make me smile. Then she asks me to play with her. It's so cute. We play this game either on my bed or hers. She crawls under the blanket and says, "Mommy say, 'what's this lump?'" So I pat "the lump" and say, "this is a hard lump, it's not a pillow, and it's giggling, what is this lump?" Then lift up the blanket and say, "It's ARIANNE!!" and tickle her. Well, tonight she decided that I was to be the lump and she proceed to say, "What's this lump? It's just the right size for me to lay on." Then she get's off me and I say, "It's the Tickle Monster." and "pop" out from the blanket. And she giggles and says, "One more time mommy, OK?"

So cute......so those are some of Arianne's cuteness this past week. So glad she's been in good spirits. I love her!!!
