Weekend Getaway

This weekend we were lucky enough to go to this house in our beloved Midway:
Isn't it beautiful? We came up for the weekend because Matt's parents were visiting from California. We had such a wonderful time. Roxie made jewelry with Grandma:
Visited with her favorite statue. It's of her great, great (and maybe a few more great's) Grandpa who helped found Midway:
We hung out on our favorite bench in the garden:
This is my favorite view from the house, you can see it from the kitchen. So serene.
We watched these guys and almost fed them. Roxie wouldn't get too close.
But by far the best part of the trip was being able to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma is a big time favorite, as you can see:

We were sad to leave! Thanks for such a great weekend, Skip and Clare!

In other news, Peter turned 6 months! Can you believe it? He's such a sweet boy and we love him to pieces. There is something so sweet about his cuddly little personality. He's been so wonderful to have in our family and I'm so grateful to be his Mom.

Wow, that house looks amazing. It's the Martha Stewart house right? We love time with Grandmas too. And I seriously can't believe Peter is six months... time flies when we don't see each other in real life! He and Roxie are both so cute.

LOVE IT! I'm calling you tomorrow. Now that Matt has outed our book relationship, I figure I better make an "i'm sorry" phone call. PLUS---HOUSES! Can't wait to see it.

Stop feeding that baby- he's growing up before I can get to him! My little hobbit vicarious son!
