I Know Myself Too Well Sometimes!

Okay....if you read the previous post(and the only one so far), you can see it was over 2 months ago! As I commented in it, I wasn't confident that I would post again for awhile...and here I am! That was spring break and now this is summer!

With summer comes lots of things....a few of which just happened at the Hardy's house! The first is Ava & Cooper got a new playset for the backyard! Knowing that we would be here all summer we thought it'd be a good purchase:) Ava LOVES it....she will slide and slide and slide and then play with her babies in the house under the slide and do it all again!

The second was vacation!!! We had a great time at Edisto Beach in South Carolina! My parents went as well and let's just say it was a win for everybody! The kids loved time with Mamaw and Papaw and it was great to have extra hands as well:) Ava loved the sand but was not so fond of the ocean...this is a picture at the end of the week she finally decided to put her feet in and loved it!

Lastly, we had a fun bbq over the memorial day weekend! It was a great night to hang out with dear friends and to see all of our kids have a blast with each other...I think we had 10 kids there between the ages of 3 months and 4 years!

Can't wait to see what the rest of the summer holds and hopefully I'll keep this updated more frequently so you can enjoy:)

What??? We have a blog???

I can't believe it either! I never thought we'd have a page like this because I thought for sure it would be way too challenging to set up!! But thanks to the encouragement of my friend, E, and Matt, I did it!!! Now, we'll see just how much I get on here and update it:)

What a week it's been here! It is our Spring Break week and we were going to head to Illinois to visit our family! Matt's brother, Aidan, his wife and new baby are in town from Colorado! Cooper started a fever on Monday and still had it on Thursday!!! So, long story short, Matt took off with Ava for Illinois on Thursday and Cooper and I stayed behind. Cooper now is feeling much better after getting his antibiotic changed on Thursday!

I have been working on having joy when things don't turn out how I expect them too...this has been a perfect opportunity! I think I'm realizing life with a 2 year old and 7 month old will bring me lots of these opportunities:) Anyway, I'm soooo glad Ava got to go and meet Jack, her new cousin, and play with Hannah, Sam and Seth! Matt says she is having a ball! The picture above was taken at our last visit and doesn't include Jack.
