For the first weekend in February my good friend, Carrie, came back in town. Carrie moved back to Ohio this past summer but she and her family are such a special part of our lives here in Texas. Her husband, Mike, is the one who trained with Rich for the Ironman and their daughters, Claire and Norah, have been Joseph's best buddies since they met in the summer of 2011. We miss them dearly but were so thankful that Carrie was able to sneak away from the cold and come stay with us for the weekend.
On Friday night some of the girls in our group got together for a late dinner and drinks at BJs. It was like no time had passed and we had such a fun night! Carrie and I were up past 1:00 a.m. that night just catching up.
On Saturday morning, Carrie and I took the kids to boot camp and then we had lunch at Salata (our favorite) and let the kids play at Market Street.
Olivia has always been so great with Ella and Ella loved playing with her stroller after boot camp!
Too cute!
On Saturday night almost all of us made it out to celebrate Carrie being into town and we had a great dinner at the Grotto at Market Street. Carrie and I were up again past 1 that night just standing in my kitchen talking-so nice to have some quality girl time this weekend!
On Sunday after church and a pancake breakfast at home, Carrie and I took the kids to the mall to meet up with a few of the other girls before she left to head home. We were supposed to go to a park but it suddenly started to rain that morning so had to find an indoor play area which is hard to find on a Sunday morning in Texas so the mall worked. The kids had a good time and we grabbed lunch and rode the carousel before saying goodbye. Here is Joseph and his buddy, Trace, climbing the tree. Carrie brought the Cleveland Browns jersey that Joseph is wearing here for him and he wore it all weekend long!
It was such a nice weekend and I'm so thankful for Carrie's friendship. Their family just booked a cottage with us at Lake Placid over the summer for Rich's Ironman so we can not wait to spend the week with them!!
