A few fun things we did to wrap up summer...
First, we most definitely enjoyed these macaroons Ryan picked up for us in the Paris airport on his way home from Lebanon. He also brought baklava from Beirut. Our tastebuds rejoiced!
We took a weekend trip to Birmingham to visit Liz and her new home. It's so lovely, and we're so thrilled she found it! We were excited to spend a little time with Caroline and Liam while we were there too.
Bama having fun in the pool with her granddaughters!
I think its safe to say that Decker has become part of the family.
Mia's been having some fun baking recently. First she made some fudge (some with sprinkles, some without), and then she recently made a key lime pie. Both delicious!
Being treated to breakfast in bed is always a nice treat; thanks Lily!
On one beautiful afternoon, I realized the girls had been outside for a pretty long while. I looked out the back window to see they had found our huge wheeled trashcan and had filled it with water to create a little mini-pool. They were having a blast playing in it!
Ryan took both girls on Daddy Daughter Dates recently. Since Vini, Vidi, Vici closed, he and Lily are looking for their new spot. They tried out Valencia, and absolutely loved it. I had some of her leftover pasta for lunch, and it was fantastic. I want to go try it soon! While Lily was at Emory's playing, he and Mia went to Chuck E Cheese. She scored a pretty big loot that day!
Mia and I had fun together too. After eating dinner at the Japanese restaurant, we came home to decorate cupcakes that she and Ryan had made earlier in the day. I taught her to use my decorating gun which she loved. She thought the way it mixed colors inside of it was awesome. I love making fun and tasty memories together!
And just like that, summer was over! I'm not sure any of us really wanted it to end this year, but ready or not, it's time for school!
