Day at the Park

Today I decided to wrap up the week early and spend the afternoon with my favorite ladies. I surprised Lori by coming home an hour early from work, and bearing gifts to boot. I know I don’t always say ‘Thank You’ enough to Lori for all the hard work she does as a stay at home mom. I will say, if it weren’t for her, our household would not run. The house is always spotless, my dinner is always ready when I get off of work, and our child receives the best care possible. So, I came home with not one, but two of the new Yankee Candles fall line scents in the BIG jar. Those are Lori’s faves and it was a nice little surprise for her.

After a wonderful dinner of Cuban style pork with all the fixen’s we took Zoe down to the park to run off some pent up energy. They have a really nice park here that is nicely positioned by a creek that runs through the town. It has a huge soccer field, basketball courts, picnic area, and a huge castle playground. Zoe made several friends and played for a while at the playground and then we went down creek side for a little wade through the water.

Overall, it was a very nice afternoon to kick off a much-anticipated weekend. I’ve been swamped with work lately so it was especially nice to start our weekend a little early and enjoy my family for a change. I some times get so wrapped up with work, I forget to relax and enjoy the REAL important things in life. Thank God for Lori to keep me grounded and pointed in the right direction. Mommy, this one is for you!

Love to my best girl!
