A rainy, muggy weekend in Cincinnati but I was happy to say goodbye to the month of April. It's just too painful from beginning to end.
It was a low key weekend spent at home but always time to squeeze in a little fun. Elle started feeling much better later in the week so we were able to get out of the house a little bit......we grabbed dinner at our local Mexican food spot Friday evening with our neighbors then Saturday headed over to their house for a little Kentucky derby BBQ. Ted made mint juleps to be festive; after one sip I went back to Wine. They were so very strong but fun....the boys enjoyed them.
Elle, knock on wood, has been a fantastic sleeper and napper for the last few months. I hope this stays true as we travel to FL, up to the lake, and to HH Island this Summer. I am so looking forward to some of the events and trips we have planned. I need things to look forward to. I don't do a very good job on being "in the moment" and being so excited for the day's events. I tend to look ahead when I'm down and think of happier days ahead spent with my friends and family. Sad to admit, I don't ever feel like I have that "so excited" feeling anymore which really sucks. I think back to two years ago; being excited and overly happy was a big part of who I was. But I have accepted I am a new person because of this and I continue to look for ways to bring in more happiness but it's challenging.... Luckily I have a beautiful, healthy daughter- and when she squeezes her little arms around my neck for a big, big hug....it makes it even more clear how much my own Mother loved me. A love for a child is beyond words.......thank you Mom and Dad.
