From Charlotte Street

We live on Charlotte Street. We live in the city. We love our neighborhood. We love our boys. Our house is usually a wild mess; full of wrestling children and flying footballs. We are so far from perfect and so thankful that we don't have to be because we serve a God was and is perfect for us.

Thankful

Thanks to some good friends of ours and my parents we are officially on our FIRST family vacation...just the 4 of us. We spent the weekend at a good friends wedding in Santa Rosa, Florida and then drove 20 mins down the road to a condo that we get to stay in for a week for....FREE! (THANK YOU to some great friends, you know who you are!) :) Thankful is the only name I could think to give this post because all I can really say is how thankful we feel to get to have this time just the 4 of us. It has been so special to spend time with our boys. Time with our boys without work, schedules, friends, or anything else...just the 4 of us. We still have 2 days left and I already feel like we have grown so much closer through this time. It amazing how much better you get to know your littles when you have no other agenda except to spend time with them. I'm convinced we will do this every year until they won't go with us any more! It probably won't always be to Destin, Florida but we will make it a priority to get away with our kids and spend some QT every year...I don't care if it's to some random hotel with a pool in independence, MO, it's about getting time together. Here are some pics from our time thus far.

Watch out Destin, we are here. Our first family pic right before we hit the beach for the first time



 Is that Kenny Chesney or Matt Marasco? Nice hat babe...Matt got a horrible sunburn day 1 so he has been "guarding" his neck all week.

 Matt and T hit the bummer boats. I didn't want anything to do with those...you should have smelled the water. uggg. T loved it!


Matt let me take T on his first go cart ride. That was pretty awesome. I can remember riding go carts with my dad in Branson, MO so it brought back a lot of memories to be back in one of those with Tito. To be honest, I'm a horrible go cart driver and we go passed by EVERYONE. Thank goodness T had no idea. He thought it was the greatest thing ever. We yelled "go mommy" and "go Titus" the whole time.

Sweet Bram slept through the boats and the go carts.
