Well according to my last post I posted I was going to Ohio for a week. I went up there with my mom to help my sister and her husband out. My sister had her baby boy over a month early and they already have three little girls, so life was pretty hectic for them before Saxby's surprise entrance. My mom has always been able to go up and help out the week after my sister gives birth. This is the first time that I haven't been tied up in work or school, so I was very excited to get to go up and spend time with my sister, her family and my new little baby nephew. The week we were up there was crazy hectic, on top of being a mommy of four, my sister had to be back in her doctoral classes. My mom and I helped out with watching the girls, and spent a lot of time coloring, playing outside and changing diapers. We were all winding down and talking at the end of the night a few days before mom and I were supposed to head back home. We were joking around about how difficult my sister's life was about to get once my mom and I left.
Long story short, the joking turned into an actual proposal for me to stay in Ohio for a few more weeks and help my sister out. My brother in law pretty much offered me everything under the sun to stay. After a quick phone call to my love back in SC, it was decided that my week trip would turn into a month long one. I would be staying up there til July 4th weekend.
I am so grateful that I did stay up there to help out. I got some seriously needed quality time with my sister and brother-in-law, spent a lot of needed bonding time with my nieces and nephew, and my sister and I even got to spend our birthdays together...which hasn't happened in at least 6 years. Cole even got to come up part of the week of July 4th and spent some time with me, my sister and her family! It was a pretty great end to an awesome month. I have a ton of pictures from the month and I promise to post them I just need to get them all in one place first.
