What a great day! Our close friend and her two children and dog surprised us and drove down for the weekend. We have been entertaining a 6 and almost 5 year old boy since midnight. Good times. We even left Chris with them for a while. Here is to good training. hahaha!
Today is all about sight seeing and visiting. We are heading to downtown Southern Pines to do a little shopping. Ellie is crazy about Tyler candles ever since we brought her some this March. So that is our first stop. Then off to the park and possible Wally World for some sippy cups for the boys. We have a nice dinner prepared and will most likely put on a chick flick and make Chris suffer through it. What a great husband!
It is funny how life changes in a matter of time. Typically we would be out on the lake throwing back a few adult beverages, but not anymore. =) Ellie asked earlier - is being a parent everything you expected. My answer is yes and no. Yes, because you want something so bad and love them so completely and are overwhelmed with love and joy about their presence. No, because you always forget about the hard part of raising a family. Don't get me wrong - I knew the ins and outs of parenting; however, until you are one and experience the late night feedings, blow outs, sleepless days, etc you can't fully appreciate it all. We love it so much that we are thinking about doing it again. Uh oh - hopefully in the near future we will have a little sibling for our wild men. Wish us luck!
Well, we are off to celebrate. Thanks Browy for have ship duty so the family could come and play.
