What's up Morrisons?

Well, it certainly has been a looooooooooooong time since I have posted anything on this blog! The summer kept us super busy and the transition back to work (for me) and school (for molly) was even more hectic.

The storm has settled some and we are finding our ways into a new routine. I miss the long mornings of summer when we all had breakfast together and enjoyed each other's company. Now the mornings are filled with rushing and hurrying and fast thinking and spilling coffee and forgetting papers etc. You know the drill.

Labor day weekend is upon us and while I wish that we had some grandiose lake plans with family, we will actually be apart. My good friend is celebrating her 30th with a girls trip to the beach. I can't wait to see college friends and hours of girl talk. I will certainly miss the husband and baby though.

Enjoy the long weekend!

zero.

Zero more days until schools it out. School is out for Summer! We have been a busy little family with mother's day, service projects with church, molly and our 3 year anniversary! What a full life it has been though and so many things to give thanks for!

This weekend we are off for a fun family mountain adventure and I am jumping up and down with excitement! What are your memorial day weekend plans?

This past weekend was really great. We spent a lot of time together as a family on Saturday and that just filled my heart right up.  The past few months in the Morrison home have been really busy. The weekends somehow turned into massive "to-do" lists instead of just spending time with the ones you love.

This Saturday I was determined to not let that happen. It almost did, but awesomeness prevailed and we were all under the same roof for the entire day.

Allen surprised us (me and molly) on Thursday with a giant play fort for the backyard and we spent the majority of Saturday playing on that. Molly loved coloring the sidewalk with chalk and we took lots of water breaks in between.

Sunday morning Molly and I headed out to the Y and spent some time splashing in the pool. I had about 2 million sweet moments with her and had to mentally photograph all of them in my mind. We sat together in the water and played with some toys, we twirled around in the deep end, and we made new friends. Molly is a huge hugger and will hug just about anyone big or small.

This weekend was so beautiful. I am so glad I didn't miss things like: our gardenias in full bloom, watching molly make friends, celebrating Cinco de Mayo, molly learning how to nod (say yes) and watching her trust herself as she went down the slide all by herself.

What a privilege it is to be a part of this family that God has so greatly blessed me with!
