Staycation!

We have been having a wonderful time the last several days being on "staycation". Jeremy's mom, Janice, flew into town Saturday evening and we have been thoroughly enjoying her time with us. Marissa totally loves her Grandma!

We have been hanging around, not doing much of anything. Monday, I didn't even get out of my pajamas, and it was glorious! It has been so great not to worry about going here and there, but instead, just concentrating on enjoying each other's company and relaxing.

This evening we met up with my sister, Michelle, and her fiance, Nate, at our favorite chinese restaurant and had a really nice dinner. Tomorrow, we will be going to Red Lobster with friends and family to celebrate my birthday. Then Friday morning we will head to Denver for Marissa's appointment with Dr. P to go over her sleep study results. We are very optimistic!

Here are a few pictures from the last few days.

I just love that kid.

Staycations are the best and so is not getting out of pajamas!

Slowing it down is such a good prescription sometimes.

And Red Lobster? Yum! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Can't wait to hear about the results!!!

Staycations are awesome. It's so nice to just chill out at home. I am hoping for the best with the sleep study results.

Glad to read that you are enjoying yourself! Staying home when you are on vacation is really the best way to spend time off....there is a lot more time to relax and just "be."

Hope you get great results at the appointment!

Happy Birthday again! Hugs!!!
