Delaney's Best 2 Weeks, as an Only Child at Home!

This is Delaney's 2nd two weeks of being an only child, while Carter and Addison are away at Laity Lodge Youth Camp (LLYC)! I have to say, it really has turned into one of Blake and my's favorite parts of the Summer. We are both able to physically and emotionally give her our complete focus every single evening and every single weekend day. It has been so much fun. Delaney was pretty emotional the first 24 hours that the house was empty but after we made a count down paper chain counting down their return, she never looked back. Playdates nearly every single night of the first week, dinners out, gymnastics camps with Emma, late night swimming, movie date with dad, library, downtown bruches and babysitting a hedgehog! That was all just week 1! 

Week 2 brought pool parties and mani's and pedi's with Aunt Danielle, rainy afternoon playdates that involved makeup with Emma, making Jello for the first time and toasting Mema since that is something she and I used to always do, we made Caprese salads with our homegrown tomatoes and ate outside on the patio for most meals. At Delaney's request, we "Marie Kondo'd" her whole room! After her awesome Camp Invention everyday, at night, the 3 of us swam, and did things that we never have time to do like face-timing family and friends, watching movies outdoor past 10PM, going to opening day festivities at the new nearby grocery store, Sprouts, reading books and just truly connecting. You slept every night on a pallet in our bedroom.

I seriously look so forward to these special 14 days and nights with just the 3 of us and look forward to them next Summer.
