Such a fun 4th!!!!!

Definitely starting to look like Daddy

Friday morning we set off for the canal for what I thought would be a bit of a stressful weekend. It turned out to be anything but and was so much fun. I think the heat drained Westyn since she slept most of the day, both days, in her swing ( I nixed the crib naps this weekend), and then when her bedtime came which is around 7:30 nowadays she fell right asleep in her travel crib and slept right through the fireworks, and they were absurd this year. I would imagine it had to do with her white noise machine being right next to her ear but regardless she didn't wake up once, except for a quick snack around 4am both nights. This year was definitely the best as far as fireworks go, I think some houses down the canal must have spent thousands as they were pretty awesome.

It was definitely a crazy weekend with all the family spread out between our cabin and my Grandma's house but OMG do I have the best family ever.... They were so helpful and always wanted to take Westyn so Troy and I could swim or ski or go on a boat ride or whatever; anything to help out and let Troy and I enjoy eachother...which is exactly what we did. Of course it makes things easier that Westyn has just been so wonderful - smiling and laughing up a storm; she is getting so much fun and so incredibly animated. I think the best thing about her smile is that she smiles with her eyes - sounds cheesy but she just lights up the room.

As fun as this weekend was, I almost feel like I need another weekend to just unwind and relax. Since I'm usually in bed by 9pm these days, staying up until midnight around the fire drinking wine and roasting smores has definitely taken it's toll. I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe weekend.
