Weekend Recap...with a side of nostalgia :)

We had a rainy, dreary day on Friday and again today, but thankfully the weekend was nice! Windy, but nice...although it always seems to be windy here, so that's nothing new. Since it was nice, we let Shelby play outside a good bit. I don't think I ever realized until this weekend what a huge blessing it is to have a fenced-in yard with a toddler. Derek and I were able to sit and relax on the patio while Shelby ran around like crazy, and we didn't have to worry at all about her running off in the road or getting into something that she shouldn't. As Derek and I were sitting there chit-chatting and watching our sweet little girl run around, I just stopped and looked at him and said: "This is the life." Years ago, when I had dreamed of what our life might look like "one day"...this was it. It was a wonderful Kairos moment.




But in the spirit of keeping it real, we went inside after playing and Shelby proceeded to throw every.single.piece of food off of her tray during lunch. She's lucky she's cute! :)

Other highlights of the weekend included a trip to Dairy Queen {which is notable b/c we just recently discovered there was a DQ in D'Iberville..we will be making up for lost time in the coming weeks!} & Target, a family walk, making pulled pork sandwiches for the first time together, and laziness. :)

Derek was home for all of Shelby's waking hours this weekend, but he did have to work Saturday night. While he was at work, I was tackling a few projects at home. I wanted to watch something on TV while I worked, but nothing was really on. I went to pick out a DVD to watch and came across our wedding video and for some unknown reason I felt totally compelled to watch it..by myself..on a Saturday night. I know you're jealous of the exciting life I lead. ;) I don't think I had watched the video since our first anniversary, so it felt like I was watching it for the first time and it totally stunted my productivity...but it was seriously so much fun to watch it again! And it made me excited for the day when we can show the video to Shelby and tell her all about our wedding day. This isn't our wedding video, but it's a little slideshow of photos that our wedding photographer put together for us and I don't think its ever made its way to the blog before...so here is a {LINK} to it for your viewing pleasure :)

Happy Monday to you!
