We celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday in Glenwood this past weekend, and it was truly the sweetest and happiest four days with my family. We drove up mid-morning on Friday, stopped in Frisco for lunch (where we saw the other two groups of road trippers!), made it to our Airbnb shortly before 4 then spent allllll day Saturday and allllll day Sunday at the pool before packing it up, eating once last meal in town and driving back home on Monday. Also, Sunday, my mom’s actual birthday, was such a good day! We all tag-teamed cooking dinner then took a lovely stroll through the neighborhood toward the river before making it back home for cake and presents. I hope my mom thought it felt as special as I did 🤍

Many a nap was skipped for Miss Lydia but every year, I can tell it is just a little bit easier to travel with our kiddos and they mostly did so good on this trip! Playing the piano, hanging with the neighborhood cat, swimming in the pool, eating ice cream and staying up late. This what it’s all about, right?? Poor Joey was so sick with a cold the entire time, but I think he made the best of it. And I just love being able to see my aunt, uncle and cousin! It’s cliche to say, but these are core memories 🤍🤍🤍
