Catch up time....(this is gonna be a long one...)

Backing up to the week starting June 21st...I got sick that week so it is a bit of a blur. Norah of course was awesome as usual....

Then came the weekend and her actual birthday! I cannot believe she is 7 years old! There are no words to tell you how much we love this girl! (Looking back at how much she had grown up...it is just so hard to believe how fast it has all gone! 6 years old, 5 years old, Birth-4 years old) She wanted a pie instead of cake (no prob!) for her birthday and...made a wish!

Jeff's mom came into town on that Saturday with Jeff's brother's family to stay for the week. I actually flew out super early on Sunday morning to head to New Mexico so I could get certified in a class for school.

This is bright and early at the airport! Jeff was a trooper!

I got my certification in ITGS (Information Technology in a Global Society) which is for our IB program. I was not sure what to expect when heading out to New Mexico about the class and the actual training. Both were great! I met the most fun, smart, and fabulous people and was fascinated by the material in the class. I am super excited to teach it in the fall and love that I will keep in touch with all the amazing people that I met at the IB training.

Well I returned to Pawleys Island about 11:15ish pm on Wednesday night and was a little tired to say the least and still feeling kinda yuck. (Thanks again for Jeff coming to get me in Charleston!) While I was away, Jeff had to work but Jeff's mom and my mom took care of Norah. Then my sister came in town with her boys too. They went to the beach, bowling, a magic show, Norah got gifts, and the list of activities goes on! Jeff said Norah had the most fun and was exhausted each night! Thank you to all who helped with Norah while I was away...she loved spending time with all the family. The hurricane brought us lots of rain on Thursday so the morning started a little slow which I needed...I still didn't feel 100%. Norah watched some things on her ipad.

Thursday afternoon when Jeff got home from work, we got to see Allan, Robyn, Allyson, Jonathon and their friends at their beach house.It is always great to see them and we wish we had more time to spend with them...guess they will have to come back to visit!

My niece always takes the best pics!

Friday was the 4th and it was a non-stop kind of day! We were up and at the N. Litchfield parade at 10 am with my mom, Denny, and Jeff's mom.

Next up is the beach...the Wilcox family made it out to the beach too!

And there is more...we then went to my Aunt's house for dinner...which was super delicious and look at the view!

Well to end the night...we went to Litchfield Inn (yes, we still own that condo if anyone wants to buy it! ;) to watch the fireworks. Norah loved the fireworks especially watching them with Daddy!

So we are finally here to this morning (did you really make it this far?!) and after having to say goodbye to Jeff's family (we told them to come back on a non-holiday time soon so we can hang out again soon!)...we headed to the River with the Wilcox family and it was a blast!!!

And now...we are hunkering down as a family of three, having a glass of wine (me), beer (Jeff), diet sierra mist (Norah), fried shrimp, and watching the movie "The Croods" on the couch with our dogs. It has been a wild, fun few days and now it is nice to family bond for a low-key night. What will we do tomorrow.... :)
