…9 million photos later. i know! iiii knoooow. but there are so many that my eyeballs want to go back and rest upon over and over again and i just can’t help it! gotta savor the mems.
so, it was two weeks total that maddalena and i stayed at our beachy home location. steven was there to begin with for our lovely little family getaway! then as he left, my mom tagged in, and so we carried on with our sunshiney warm selves. and gosh, it was wonderful! as much as two weeks can sound like a super long time when you’re planning it… well, i guess it’s not that long when you’re having fun! it went by in a flash, and i sure missed my husband and my fluffies while we were apart, but i guess there’s just never a point where it’s not hard for me to leave that place. part of me always feels a little guilty for not wanting to leave, but i know a lot of it is just because when i’m there, it doesn’t feel like i’m not at home. it feels like i’m not in nashville. but really, it’s a home we’ve had in our family longer than any other home! so yeah. home. it’s there, too, and i love it and i need it.
anyway, it was so so so nice to get some time away with my main ladies! we have now returned from our gloriously soothing days in the salty humidity [my favorite kind of air], and as always, i have come back a better and nicer and saner and more patient girl than when i left! yaaaaay yay.
great success, gypsies!
aaand nashville was pretty darn lovely to come home to, i must say… all green and warm, itself! i do love nashville, i do i do i do. oh, and husband was nice to come home to, as well. he fed the cat and cleaned up the kitchen, and i’m not gonna say i wasn’t slightly worried about those things while i was gone. 😉 but he’s a good boy. and a cute one. the end.

I could have used more photos personally. They are as always so wonderful. And Maddo with her hair coming in more and more I just can't. You are so lucky to have such a lovely second place to call home. It would be my happy place.
