I will not give you a long list of excuses why I have taken such a L-O-N-G break, I will just try much harder to keep up this fall!
Soooooo, the first entry of my comeback will be what we were up to this summer. I don't know if I will stay in chronological order, but our first big fun of the summer was our return trip to Captiva Island, Florida. We had even more fun this trip than the last one two years ago. Maybe because the kids are older, maybe we just knew what we were missing!!
This trip was so special for so many reasons, but most of all, because it was the last extended visit we had with my mother-in-law before she suffered a massive stroke in early August. Praise God, she is recovering miraculously, but while she was recovering, memories of this trip kept her going and gave her something to reflect on and look forward to. What a blessing.
Our family is planning on making this an annual trip. Next year we are going to stay 9 days instead of 7. We just can't get enough of the laid back lifestyle, gorgeous scenery, wonderful resort and priceless family-time.
I love my life!!
