I hope you had a relaxing, do-nothing-but-sit-and-be-with-friends kinda weekend!
I also hope your face didn't melt off from the heat like ours did this weekend!
YIKES
But first, Friday's weather was positive perfection!
A dear, dear friend and former co-worker will be moving off the mainland and to Hawaii this month.
I know... the hardship!
So we had a fun night out on the veranda at the Hotel Hershey
Seriously one of my TOP picks of things to do in Hershey in the summer!
Friends + Live music + Sangria + the perfect weather
It was fantastic!
This girl has been such an encouragement, prayer warrior and confidant these last few years and I am surely gonna miss her!
But hey... who says I can't go to Hawaii?
My bank account... my bank account probably says I can't.
But this is now friend #2 who has lived in paradise and if I can't get out there at some point there is seriously something wrong.
But anyway.
My sweet friend Erin, I will miss you bunches! I wanna see pics of you, grass skirts and palm trees. Mmm kay?
Now in terms of weather:
Friday was Spring-like glory!
Saturday and Sunday... a sauna.
This meant a lot of pool time.
Now I'm gonna be straight with ya. I am not a pool fan. I'm not a swimming fan.
I just don't like to be wet.
I'll sit on the side. I'll put my feet in. But... much to my husband's disappointment I just don't love swimming.
But Saturday was really no time for such feelings.
I don't like being wet but I also don't like being hot.
So I was IN. And it felt GOOD.
But then I was right back on the side 'cause... ya know, I don't like being wet.
Of course Lu was in the thick of it. She got her waterlust from here daddy, fo sho.
This chica has gotten so brave and fearless in her pool activities! She hangs out on the steps and goes up and down the same two steps for hours! She slips and sometimes goes under a bit but it doesn't phase her! She is such a water champ!
yes of course we are right there to be sure the child doesn't drown. Come on!
It's like a glorified bath time, really. She has her bucket of toys and her own area filled with water.
What could be better!?
Speaking of bath toys. If you are ever wondering what to give your child to play with at bath time or pool time, try an emptied spice container.
Lucy just loves this once-parseley-container-turned-pool-toy.
It's the little things
Good idea, Gram!

When we weren't swimming our Saturday and Sunday were busy with 2 baby showers, some get-togethers and a bit-o-shopping!
Old Navy sale on Saturday meant Lucy and I had a lunch date with some shopping!
We made out great at Old Navy!
It has quickly become one of my #1 baby-clothes locations!
I got her like, I don't know... a million shirts many of which were in the cents like... less than $1!
You can call me thrifty, I don't mind.
Did anyone else catch the sale and get any sweet deals!?
Here's one of my faves from Lucy's stash:

She really does wake up like that.
No bed-head, looking pristine and perfect.
Her male-patterned-baldness head of hair just doesn't move!

As for Mom... not so much
I have no need for a shirt telling people "I woke up like this" because if anyone actually saw me in the morning there would be no confusion that I had just woken up...
like that.
Ohhh the point is to doll yourself up and wear the shirt in hopes people will believe you woke up like THAT?
Whatever. No one would believe it.
Sunday consisted of a sweet time of worship in song and scripture.
Does anyone else find that Sunday morning's before church are just the hardest!?
You'd think it would be heart-preparing and full of repentance and grace as you prepare to seek the Lord... but no. At least not for me.
The devil seems to attack the hardest on Sunday mornings.
So let me tell ya, this mama and wife needed that solid dose of God's word and some serious time in worship to remind her she needs Jesus morning until morning foreva.
Then I headed to baby shower #2 of the weekend.
Gah! Baby showers give me such baby fever! It's so bad!
Cute pregnant moms in their cute pregnant outfits with their cute beaming faces and all those cute baby bags filled with cute baby things!
I mean, when our first attempt at reproduction is this cute how could we NOT want to do it again!?
Thankfully some of my good friends who became mommies at the same time as I were with me and could snap me back to my senses!
Whew! No babies here just yet!
That was a close one!
Sorry grandparents.
Other big news from this weekend includes Lucy's growing ability to go DOWN the stairs!
Monumental moments in this household, folks!
We as an entire family have been working on this for ages and this weekend she finally showed some serious progress!!
We were thrilled.
And she was quite pleased with herself as well!
Peek-a-boo
I sometimes, too often really, forget that this sweet thing is learning the world for the FIRST TIME.
I get impatient for her to figure things out and do things and be a certain way etc. And I deny her the patience and time to take it in stride and figure it out on her own.
I need to be better about that!
She's new!
Oh, and super cute.

And beyond all that fun we did a little house hunting.
For those who are not familiar with our situation: We are in the market for a house!
It sounds special and fun and like such the adventure, right?
It's not.
It's been months of looking. And months of disappointment.
So we saw a few more houses at week's end and it's Monday and we are still quite house-less.
We have a few more to see this week so...
We have a few more to see this week so...
Patience and Faith in the waiting.
Meanwhile it is a blessing to have a place to stay with people who love us and a view like this isn't so bad! :)
That is my wish for you. Truly.
Here's to a not-so-hot but equally blessed week!
