Mimi time

We had adventures planned for our mimi time so we had to start with a healthy brekkie. And Emmett’s faces. 🤣

Lexi had made the boys crowns and they spent a long time decorating them. 

Our first adventure was to the Swan Iris Park. 

Carter is afraid of… most things and he didn’t love this bridge that crossed above the busy road. Emmett really wanted a picture though. 🤣

It’s a lovely city park to walk through. 

I love the cypress trees! So beautiful!

The boys loved all the swans. I was keeping a close eye on them because swans can be mean little buggers, but all was well. 

We sent lots of pics to momma as she labored. 

After we walked around this side of the park we switched over and walked all the way around the pond. 

It was .75 miles and the boys basically ran the whole thing and they loved it, it was great!

We ate lunch there and played at their playground after and then went home for dinner. 

That night was also family fun night at the library, so we checked that out too. 

They had music playing and art projects and legos and blocks out. 

They colored dragons for dragon appreciation week and it was nice. 

Emmett made a cool airplane and we had to show Pappy and Damian. 

They are so fun. 

It rained all day Saturday so we had a play at home/movie day.

I had an area RS meeting that afternoon and then we went out to do some shopping. I made a big batch of potato soup to freeze for them for later and we also picked up baby boy balloons to put in their tree in the front yard. a kind older woman gave them each a silver dollar to buy a toy at Dollar tree, but I know how much they love coins so Mimi let them keep their coins and I bought them a little toy. I had tied the balloons to the baby swing but Carter wanted to see them and whomp whomp. I looked for a ladder but had no luck, so there they stayed till Damian helped me fish them down. 

We went to church on Sunday (love their ward!) and then went to check out General Sumter’s Park, but it was kinda sad and creepy looking, so we plan B’d it. 

We found a really cool park called Patriot Park with sports fields, playgrounds, and a big pond. 

While we were there, this guy got released. His disgruntled faces are the best!

So excited to meet Henry!

We got home just before them and it was such a happy reunion. Newborn babies are the absolute best and it was a really beautiful circle of life time. There were so many people sending their love from heaven with baby Henry, holding him just feels extra special.
