{Five on Friday}

Happy Friday friends! We have been having a blast this week with Katie in town from NYC. 

{1} We had so much fun celebrating 4th of July with Madison a couple weeks ago! We went to Eric's family lake house and Madison rode on the boat for the first time. She was happy as long as we were moving. 

{2} After 4th of July, we went to stay at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort in Bastrop with Michael, Heather and the kids. We had a great time being with them. Madison loves her cousins so much! I've learned having a baby is a great excuse to be in your pajamas by 8:30 at night on vacation. 

{3} We had such a wonderful time with Katie visiting this past week! I am so thankful to have her as a friend. We can go a long time without seeing each other and pick up right where we left off. Last time she was here, Madison was 2 months old...she sure has grown since then! We spent the week eating good food, shopping, playing with Madison and celebrating Katie's birthday early. 

{4} This week, Katie introduced to the goodness of Trader Joes. It was so much fun! It is a grocery store, but they carry their own brands. They have different specialty items and the prices are amazing! We got some delicious candies, such as s'mores bites, dark chocolate peanut butter salted caramel bites and yogurt covered pretzels. My mom has been talking about going back since we left. 

 

{5} I just love Madison so much! She is so adventurous, but wants mommy and daddy close by. She is getting to be such a good eater, learning news things all the time and has a smile that melts your heart! This will be our last week of summer, so we are going to make the most of it!
