Banquet, Hot Springs & Aunt Emmy!!

That title sums up what we've been up to these past few days! Mason and I were very privileged to get to spend Friday night in LR attending the AR Sports Hall of Fame Banquet. We were there in support of our friend, teacher and coach, Bobby Richardson. Most of you know Coach and you know what an amazing person he is! It was so great to be a part of such a special night for him and his family. We congratulate him on this great honor...we can't think of anyone who was more deserving!
*I also want to say a special thank you to my wonderful parents for driving all the way to LR and keeping our girls so that Mason and I could attend the banquet.

After the banquet, we were off to Hot Springs for the weekend. We had a great time and appreciate Margaret and Max for letting us use their condo. It was so nice to have a relaxing weekend. Anna Kate couldn't wait to feed the turtles and throw rocks in the lake...I couldn't wait to indulge in stuffed shrimp at Fisherman's Wharf! lol! Grace also seemed to enjoy time away from home...she slept-in both mornings! yay!

Grace kicked back and relaxed!

She liked it so much she agreed to take a pic with me (that's rare!)

We got a phone call from Emily on Sunday morning letting us know that she was in Crossett for a couple of days. Of course, we were thrilled so we packed up and headed home a little bit earlier than we had initially planned. Anna Kate could not wait to see her "Memmy"! I was pretty excited too since I knew I would be getting the opporunity to take a peek at my new niece! We had a wonderful time with Em last night and the girls and I got to tag along for her ultrasound this morning. We were so thrilled to see a very healthy, very energetic Abbott Clare! Thank you to Em for letting us tag along! We can't for July when we can hold her and see her in person!!

Below are a couple pics of my girls with their favorite auntie! ;)
