Catch Up Time

I am bad at this blogging stuff. I forgot to add the pictures until the end. Look below for the details.

Steph, Clark's sister, had her baby. Allie Elizabeth. 8 lb 21 inches and straight from heaven.

This is Clark and I on the sailboat.

Here we are at Joe's Crab Shack. Clark has a crawfish hanging out of his mouth.


Here's my sister, Lainey, Evie, and I in front of the lighthouse.

A lot has happened in the past month. First, I got to see my sister, Carolyn. She lives in Boston with her husband and two daughters. I felt pretty adventurous yet nervous about going. I had never flown by myself before, I am terrible with directions, and I was worried that Clark and the kids would be alright. Everything turned out great! Since my trip was quick, we spent most of the time talking and hanging out. We did however see a lighthouse, eat at "Five Guys" (which I couldn't remember the name, I called it, "Five Brothers" and "The Big Five"), and Carolyn treated me to Coldstone . . .my favorite ice cream store in the world!! It was so nice to see my sister and nieces. They are all such beautiful and adorable gals.

Clark and I also celebrated our 5th Anniversary. Woo-hoo, the Big Five :) Betsy and Eric were kind enough to watch our kids for the weekend while Clark and I went to Denver. We stayed the night at a hotel (with a free breakfast). Unfortunately the pool didn't open until the day we left, but we still had fun. We went sailing at the Cherry Creek Reservoir. The man at the dock asked if we had sailed before and Clark said, "Oh sure." When in reality, he had only been on a guy's sailboat one time. You could say I was a bit nervous getting into that sailboat. It was a 14 foot dinghey for any of you that know much about sailboats. Clark managed to get us out of the harbor and into the open sea (so to speak). He did fantastic! We never tipped, though two times we came REAL close. It was wonderful to spend time together and remember what brought us together in the first place. Here's to many more years to come!
