Be Our Guest

Sadie and I were delighted to be invited as guests on our cousin’s swimming pool membership today.

We met up with their family, my sister and her daughter, and my mom for an afternoon of fun in the sun. We had such a nice time talking, relaxing, and playing with the kids.

Sadie ended up liking the adult pool and was jumping into my arms. She made my retired swimmer heart happy 😉

While we were out, we had a house guest! The pool was located about an hour from our house and I knew we would be gone for most of the afternoon, so I had a dog walker come and take Niva on a little jaunt while we were out.

I think Niva enjoyed her walk and got nice and tired out because she didn’t eat any brownie mix while we were gone 😉

Other things of note:

  • We filmed another vlog yesterday! My favorite part is Sadie and Niva running around while I try and explain how to cook breakfast casseroles.
  • Jimmy sent me the photo below and it melted my heart. He took Sadie to work with him on Saturday for a little and she brought one of her toy dogs and accidentally left it there. He said he found it on Monday morning and it made his day 🙂

Tell me about your day!

Have you ever found something totally random on your desk? —> I have a Paw Patrol sticker book sitting on mine at the moment, lol.

Hello! I found more time to blog. Score.

I got a cute text from Jimmy on Tuesday morning and it made me smile so big. Don’t you love text messages like that?!

Jimmy’s birthday was on Saturday and I bought us tickets to the Pirates game. We had a blast! We started the evening just walking around Pittsburgh aimlessly, then we had dinner at Hyde Park (a steak house on the North Shore), and finished the night watching the Pirates and fireworks. It was such a lovely evening with a lovely boy. 🙂

Sunday was a blast as well. It was 90* in Pittsburgh, so after church my family + Jimmy and his brother hopped in our pool. We played “silent polo” which is Marco Polo without talking! We also played with Nick & Jimmy’s hair while a thunderstorm rolled in.After sufficient hair-playing we headed out to eat and then back to church. Perfect day!

I was drinking from my water bottle the other day and thinking that the slogan on it was so right…Amen? Amen!
