Summer Vacations

We are planning to go to Ohio to visit my mom's family in June. We haven't been since I was pregnant with Maggie (she's 5 now) so our visit is long overdue. It is sad that I haven't done a better job of keeping in touch with my relations. My mother made sure we visited them once a year while I was growing up, but once she passed away and I moved out of my parents home, there was nothing to ensure that I stayed in contact. I'm looking forward to reconnecting and introducing our children to their only great-grandmother (Daniel was one when he last met her so it will be just like meeting her for the first time again). It's thanks to my gracious Aunt Shirley and Uncle Kenny that this visit is possible. They are letting us stay at their house so we don't have to use a hotel (which we can't afford while we are still doing our debt snowball). It should be a lot of fun if we can get Joshua to enjoy riding in the van.

We also hope to go back to the condo in Perdido Key with the Hipps family in August. It all depends on whether Davis can get off from work (although if he can't I may just have to brave taking the three kids by myself since it was so great last year). Hopefully that works out and we will have two inexpensive family vacations this year. Can't wait!
