Fun weekend

We had another FUN weekend.  Kale and Kayla surprised us by coming in a little early… they’d plan to come Friday and came on Thursday evening instead!! So happy about that.  Kayla and I went shopping on Friday and Friday night they joined us and the Howards and the Goodwins for “tennis at the park”, of course!  Kale looked like he’d been playing for years, but he hasn’t played since we tried our hand at it when he was in about the 3rd grade.  I think they may get a couple of rackets themselves… it was so much fun!

Saturday, Kayla and I went to Little Rock.  I had a hair appointment with a “curl specialist”.  Long way to drive (3.5 hours) and my expectations were HIGH.  But, to be totally honest, it was just okay.  No offense to the guy who cut/trimmed it, but I didn’t walk away with the best curls I’ve ever had.  That was my hope.

We had a fun day anyway, even though I got lost once and was impatiently passing cars another time and missed my exit.  We ate in Conway at Market Place (yum!). After we got home, we gave ourselves pedicures.  Kayla is so fun to be with and we have so much in common.  No one ever told me how fun having a girl would be!!

We went to visit Ms. Charlsie today… she’s always happy to see Kale when he comes in.

They had to leave this afternoon, and for some reason, it’s getting harder for me again when they have to leave.

We’re back to a quiet house, but the week ahead looks busy again.  And, in our spare time… we’ve always got tennis!

Girl, it doesn't get any easier. Someday they will bring babies home to you and then it pulls your heart completely out of your body when they leave!!!
