two weeks ago we went to visit my parents.

| (off of my parent's pier looking down the canal) |
they live 15 minutes from galveston beach.
now, i realize that galveston gets a bad rap, but i grew up going there as
a child and my children think it is a very beautiful place :)
we also like it because it is, as mentioned before, 15 minutes from my parent's home and
we use their house like a hotel...but with free food and board :)
for us, that is a great deal because you can't imagine how much
my two dainty girls can eat these days!!! it would amaze you!!!

we planned the whole weekend well in advance,
but didn't plan on the weather being so temperamental.
we still got to do plenty and had a great time together as well as
visiting with my parents and grandmommy, who lives with them as well :)
chad and i left sunday afternoon, but left the girls to enjoy a full
week with their nana, poppy, great grandmommy, and hope (their dog).

when we finally got them back, they had grown a 1/4 of an inch,
which can only mean my mom fed them pretty well.
later that night i had forgotten how loud my two children are.
i felt like the paparazzi were yelling at me...
"mom....mom....look here...mom...hey...mom!"
chad and i just smiled at each other and realized how
great it was to have them back.
my mom, on the other hand, was sending me texts describing
how they hated how quiet their home was now that the girls were gone.
they were missing them pretty bad.
