On Friday, I spent the day at Scott's Antique Market with my mom, my mother-in-law Pam, my sis-in-law Amanda, and aunt-in-law Vicky! We had the best time - we're working on a project in Hawkinsville. I was tickled to be able to go with Amanda to take Ben to school and to pick him up...what a treat for me!
Later on Friday night, David and I were so excited to have The Arnolds and Clayton come to visit! After dinner, we scooted across the lake and picked up The Smithsons, Ansley and Ben, and Sydney and Gray. We stayed on the boat talking and dancing way too late! And as always, Baxter was right there with us! |
 |
| He loves the boat! |
 |
| And everyone loves him! |
 |
| We were able to get out on the water again late Saturday afternoon after the sun came out. It ended up being the most lovely afternoon - the boys floated in the water and the gals stayed ashore to chat and read magazines. David and I were glad that Robert, William and Kelsey came to play too! |
 |
| My sweet mom sent us a bunch of grape tomatoes which were delicious! And the Arnolds brought us peppers from their garden and peaches from Lane's! We enjoyed the tomatoes and peppers in my homemade guacamole over the weekend. And the peaches were a delicious snack on the boat! |
 |
| This is the bag that Hollie blogged about previously - its been the absolute best beach bag I've ever had. It goes with us anytime we're on the water, or headed to the beach. |
 |
| We spent Sunday afternoon with Ben and Amanda - he's the cutest thing! |
 |
| He loves to pose and say cheese! |
 |
| "Maggie, why do you take so many pictures of me?" |
 |
| Because you're the cutest kid ever! |
 |
| Ben had a turn as the photographer and captured DayDuh... |
 |
| Aunt Maggie... |
 |
| And Mommy! Don't they look just alike! |
 |
| This gorgeous view sent us home to gear up for the week ahead...and getting ready for our cruise! |
Our fabulous friends helped clean up before they all headed home - so sweet! But after a house full of company this weekend, it needed a little more of a pick-me-up. David looked at me and said "Babe, will it bother you if I vacuum?"
How lucky am I?
As if I would ever say, "Well, darling, you're just vacuuming too much."
When you have a Dyson, vacuuming is way more fun. When you have a hubs like mine, life is perfect.
As most of you know, David and I spent 5 days at sea with some of our nearest and dearest friends - The Muller-Stones, The Kings, The Wages, and The Campbells. We boarded the Carnival Fascination on a bright Saturday morning, and had a ball for the next 5 days lounging by the pool, eating 3 course dinners, riding the water slide and enjoying the two excursions in the Bahamas. The highlight of the trip was swimming with the dolphins at the Atlantis resort...it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience to play with them, have them push us on a boogie board, swim alongside them, and talk to them. Wish we had pictures of that, but no cameras allowed with Flipper! One of the most fun parts of our days on the ship were having our pictures taken on the boat and seeing just how cheesy they can get...the above four pictures are the ones that David and I came home with. If anyone wants a copy of us in all white in an 8x10, please send me an email. HAHAHAHAHAHA! More recently, we headed to Panama City for the long Labor Day weekend. We were tickled for the Hills and the Campbells to join us for the 3rd year in a row. Sadly, the Wages couldn't come since Brian was under the weather - we missed them! This weekend was spend relaxing on the white sand and enjoying the amazing weather we all were having in the south. As I sit here at my house in Gainesville, its the most pleasant afternoon with fall in the air.
