Girls Weekend

I just returned to Arizona after a long weekend at the Jekyll Island Club with two of our three girls and my Mom.  We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend.  Jekyll Island Club is a beautiful historic property that has been impeccably maintained.  The grounds were enchanting with perfectly manicured grass and shaded by live oaks heavy with Spanish moss.  We rented bikes and rode around the island.  We walked on the beach.  We played word games.  We had wonderful meals.   Mom taught Audrey to crochet.  We connected and reconnected.  Just about perfect!

Forever MOM

Over the past 10 days, I flew to Washington, DC, to spend time with Claire and David, then flew to Austin, Texas, to help Whitney move into a new apartment before starting a new job.  Was a whirlwind trip, with lots of cleaning, unpacking, cooking, shopping, and spending time with my twin girls.  Regardless of how old my three girls are or how successful their lives are, I still lose sleep when they are stressed or have unusual circumstances in their lives.  I rejoice in their good news and successes.  Of the successes in my own life, I am most proud of my girls.  I love my girls!
