Weekly Updates – 21 & 22
Yesterday, the girls and I sent my little brother off. I just got word that he’s back home in Florida getting some much needed rest! The past two weeks have been such a whirlwind of busyness, fun, and exhaustion.
I wasn’t sure what to expect since there’s such an age gap between us, but it seems he had a wonderful time… and so did I! From excursions to late night talks over hot chocolate, it was a blast! The girls really loved having him here, and I enjoyed getting to know the young man he is becoming. Although Mike’s time was limited due to work, he was still able to have a surf sesh with him and a few moments here and there. We really enjoyed having him here. Hopefully we didn’t bore him too bad in our old age 
I kept a journal of things we did each day. Well, bullet points… not quite a journal. So I’ll share the highlights and photos that I was able to take over the last two weeks. Here’s what we did in chronological order. Might be nice to look at years from now.
