Avery and I had 3 weeks of time to fill waiting on M to get here. Matthew's 3 weeks gone also coincided with all of our friends here and J and K being gone on vacation at the same time :( So in order that I not be by myself living in our new/unpacked house for 3 straight weeks, mom came down to Birmingham for a night, I went to Nashville for 5 days, and my sister Ashley came down for a night at the very tail end of the time. Isn't my family incredible?! I think Ashley might be Nugget's newest favorite person. While we were in Nashville, if Auntie Ash was in the room, she wanted her and her only. Who knows who it will be next week? :)
Dad was on sabbatical while we were up there, Buddy was out of school, Mom was able to take a Wednesday and her normal Friday off, and Ashley works from home the majority of the time, so we were able to do a family lunch almost everyday. I also got to do dinner with 2 of my best friends Whitney and Heather while Mom and Dad watched Aves. I didn't realize until I left how badly this Mommy needed a night out! Dad also sent Mom, Ash and me to get massages on Saturday :) Great extended weekend, so very thankful that my family is now only 2.5 hours away again!
