We had another awesome weekend. I am so grateful that we seemed to have reached calm waters again (even if it's only for these last couple of weeks) and I pray with everything I have that this isn't temporary. I'm not holding my breath, but I'm starting to feel whole again.
Shhh! Don't scare it away!
We went to the Beaufort Water Festival on Saturday and it was fun but brutally hot! I was so jealous of the
waterskiers! It made me wish that I was out there with them! Anyway, we live in an area where we are so fortunate to have all these beautiful water oaks draped in moss. Callie calls them 'Halloween trees' and ran right up to this one to have her picture taken. I dig 'Halloween tree'; it's way more legit than boring 'Water Oak'. If I knew Webster, I'd call him up and suggest that he make the change permanently.
We spent all day outside on Sunday tending to various forms of outdoor
neglectage. My muscles ached and I was so sweaty and
stankonia by the end of the day that the vultures started circling my rotting carcas. It was such a fun day though. We all crashed hard but rallied in time to hit the pool again before it got too dark.
Callie has been wanting us to call her Caroline. She says she's a big girl now and Caroline is her big girl name. I love her name. Brent actually decided on her name about a week before she was born. I have a good friend from
highschool named Caroline and I was having a hard time disassociating her from our baby Caroline. Plus, I loved the nickname "Callie" so that's why it stuck. Making the switch back is a pretty much a lost cause though; now, it's so ingrained that we might as well have put "Callie" on the birth certificate. Here is a picture of her in her new big girl bed. I'm sad.
