back from vacation

So I am officially done with vacation and back to work, if you could really call what I do work. I really do love my job as a nanny. It makes for enjoyable days hanging out with cool kiddos. I do however still need a vacation even though my work isnt super stressful, just to step away from my usual day to day. I did just that for the past 17 days! Craziness being gone for that long, but it was SO nice!

After we left Jacksonville, Justin drove up to Tallahassee where my dad was waiting to pick me and KP up. Dad and I hadnt told mom I was coming so she was totally shocked to see us! I love surprises! Justin and Fred came back to Ohio and I was not prepared to be away from hubs all week long. It's even worse now that we have Kennedy. I thought it would be better bc I would have her with me, but really I was just sad that he wasnt there with me to play with her and take her fun places. I think she missed him too. Whenever she was real sad and neither my mom or I could help her she would just saying dadadada. So sweet that she wanted him real bad too!

We had fun relaxing in the pool and playing with some other babies too! She also had a little trip to the Gulf and ate some more sand of course =) She was such a trooper through all the trips to and from different places. I tried to keep her days as normal as possible so she could nap but its a little hard on vacation when you want to go places and everyone was wanting to see her.

Sunday after church we made our way towards Nashville to meet Justin so I could get back to Cincinnati. It was a long day and a late night but it was so good to be have my family together again. I came home to my new beautiful hardwood floors, which I love. There was also quite a mess. I spent the entire day yesterday cleaning and vacuuming dust, and washing the walls. It was crazy and I am so SORE! We had to move all the furniture back in once the floors dried and I am serioulsy aching from it all. Ill put some pictures up soon after I get everything back in order.

Here a few more pictures of our fun in Pensacola!
