It's been a 'tug at your heartstrings' sort of 2 weeks. Saying goodbye to Callie was rough. But then Beau moved to Arizona and took Meg and Dev with him (really its because Devin starts his first year of Residency next week - congrats Dev!). I think I'm tired of saying goodbye.
Brooklyn is going to miss that kid. Holy cow. Beau has been her 'love/hate' cousin. Her 24/7 playmate just moved to another state and took my best friend and sister with him. I love my husband, don't get me wrong, he is and always will be my best friend. But Meg's my sister, and my twin. I don't have to like the fact that she lives in another state. Already planning a trip Meg, don't you worry! I'm going to show up at your doorstep one of these days when I can plan my stinkin work schedule around it!
Brooklyn talks about Beau every single day. And Beau is one of the extremely few people that can get Brynlee to laugh easily. That toe head blonde, blue-eyed, spaz of a kid will me missed at our house. Days feel a bit quieter without him around. Already. And it's only been 3 days.
So now it's just me, Rog and the girls. And my mom and dad of course....we live with them. :)
Summer is filled with nightly tubs from dirty feet (gotta love the summer activities!), porch talk, nightly walks, grilling, campfires, and long warm days (or hot tornado days like today was!). I love summer. It puts me in a good mood. And I've needed good mood days.
Is this girl not adorable? The two bottom teeth showed up at 8 months. Top 2 teeth should break through any day.
Ready for church (on Fathers Day - Love you Rog!)
All worn out from playing too hard the last couple weeks.....
Brooklyn and I have both been sick - the lack of sleep finally caught up to us!
And slightly out of order, but a cabin trip was on the list before Callie left. I really needed pictures of everyone - but, again, I only have the pictures on my phone to upload while pumping at work. The life of a working mom......
Brooklyn may or may not have gotten ahold of my mascara that morning. Flash forward about 13 years and this is what she'll look like with make-up on! Love my pretty girl!
And finally some random pictures because they're either cute or hilarious....see below of Brynlee. :)
Life jackets at Lake Powell do not equal happy babies....
So life goes on for the Gardners. I miss Meg, Dev and Beau. I miss Callie, too. How grateful I am for my family members that I can call friends (on both sides of the family!).
