It was much less anxiety-ridden than the previous year though, when I was on the brink of leaving baby Reese and heading back to work. As fun as it was, by the time Tuesday morning came, Jeff and I were so exhausted that work seemed like a welcome time of relaxation, if that is possible.
What better time that a party for an outfit like this.
It was too windy to head out on the boat, so we improvised with rides on the tractor, baseball, and own vesion of the lake in a plastic pool.

This summer- I resolve to be less worried about schedules, and naps, and balanced meals, and how much work it sometimes feels like it all is… and just enjoy moments like these. Because, as a good friend reminded me, “it is about making memories.”
Ella with her daddy and me with mine. (If you look closely, Ella is on the swing, enjoying the moment with us as well.) And yes, I am sporting my going to the lake hairdo:)
On the way home, we hit grandma’s again for some swimming, what a pleasant surprise to find everyone there. Reese decided she was ready to jump into daddy.
Austin was enjoying the afternoon as well, but was too quick for me to grab any shots of him.
Yummy, ice cream.
Speaking of naps, this was the first time Reese got one that day, at5:30pm. To my mommy credit- I did try multiple times earlier in the day, to no avail. She ended up just going to bed for the night, and was a happy girl the next morning. 
I call the weekend a success of many memories made!
