When I got home from my girls weekend I totally expected to be greeted with open arms from my sweet husband and baby.  I was not ready for my little girl to have turned into a monkey over the weekend.  Seems Miss Mallory has learned how to climb...on top of the sofa, the chairs, anything in her way really.  She  definitely understands the concepts of over, under, and on top of.  Needless to say I am definitely busier now than I was a week ago. :)
That is totally okay though because I was refreshed and ready to get back to the real world after a fabulous and fun filled girls weekend with some of the very best friends a girl could ask for.  For the most part we were well-behaved and we even met a new "friend" named Florence - Flo for short- but my SIL calls her LaFawnduh.  Very appropriate, I think. Florence was the only thing inappropriate about the weekend LaFawnduh had a lot of interesting stories, most of them were ficticious, I decided.  And she surrounded herself with people named Juisebox (that is not a misspelling, it's juice box, but with and "s" which I think is Klassy - with a K).  I will let you make your own assumptions or judgements about the character of Flo.
Anyways, while meeting her it really, I mean REALLY, made me thankful for the people that I actually chose to surround myself with that weekend. You couldn't ask for a better group of gals.  I miss them all terribly but it is so great that we actually keep in touch as much as we do and can always pick up right where we left off.
When I got home I was also pretty thankful for the very best husband a girl can ask for.  I abandoned him on his first Father's Day and he managed to cook. clean, and keep our baby happy, healthy, and alive. Sam is such a kind and caring person as well as hard-working, intelligent and handsome.  VERY HANDSOME.  I do not tell him enough but I am most thankful for the very talented man that God decided to put in my like.  Good friends, beautiful baby, handsome husband - Yep, I'm a lucky lucky girl.
