Left Home Without A Camera...What Was I Thinking?
So, we were invited to go to a cabin this past weekend with our friends the Brightlings. We gladly jumped on the opportunity to get away, take a mini vacation. On Saturday morning, we met them at Seabrook. When we pulled up to this beachtown community our jaws dropped. We thought we were just going to a cabin near the beach but NO...we went to a beachtown community. It was heaven on earth...perfect in everyway. Picture perfect, literally and I forgot the darn camera. I was so upset with myself! We were in this great place unable to capture the memories. Fortunately mamma Brightling brought her cameras so we will be waiting patiently for her to send over the pics. Until then, go and check out the website, you can get a little taste of what our weekend was like.
They had bikes you could use, just go by and pick one up. There was a cafe and a grocer. All the essentials you need were right there, within yards, didn't need to hop in your car and drive anywhere for the whole weekend. There were firepits set up, playgrounds, a park. Kids running around free without a care in the world and everyone respecting each other. It was like one big family. The owner even hooked us up with a carriage house because he thought we could use more room instead of both families living in the cottage. (We were all living in a 2 bedroom cottage which was the small carriage house to the main house.) We gladly accepted his offer. This trip was insanely wonderful, I am not kidding you. I was very disappointed when it was time to go. I tried and tried to persuade mamma Brightling that we ladies should stay a few more days. But my persuasion was in vain.
To make a long story short, the trip was great. Enzo, Ian and Hannah had a great time together. They were the three musketeers. Us, adults, also enjoyed our time well spent together...playing games, spending 3 hours in the hot tub talking about everything and anything, eating, drinking you name it. As many of you know, it's not always easy finding couples whom you both click with...and we click with the Brightlings. We are very grateful they asked us to join them. I'm ready to plan our next trip.

28 very fast months!
Enzo is 28 months and today he had a 2year check-up. He had one in February too but we switched doctors since then so I thought it would be a good idea to have a new doctor meet him and check him out. So we did.
Enzo weighs 14.52kg (32lbs), and 95cm long.
As always, he was very cooperative. I kid you not, every time we have ever been to the doctor, dentist, you name it, they are always amazed on how cooperative and nice he is. Allowing the doctors to poke and pick at him.
At 28 months, Enzo has accomplished a lot of things. Most importantly he wins our heart over and over again. He is a very outgoing and social guy, like his mother. He is very talkative and curious and a memory that is quite long lasting. He enjoys singing, dancing and jumping on the bed. He loves being the center attention. He is a definite Mamma's boy. And mamma loves it!
He loves collecting rocks and throwing them into the lake. He is amused with just being outside and observing his surroundings. His favorite characters these days are, Thomas the Train and his Friends (Gordon, Percy, James, Molly and Rosie) and I am sure the list will continue. He also loves the movie Madagascar.
Enzo is a real joy to be around and warms the hearts of those who are in his presence.

Slowly but Surely
Getting this blogging ball rolling again. I have been such a mess. Wanting to blog but too tired. Wanting to blog but not prioritizing it. So here I am trying and hoping that the ball will roll this time. I want to keep all friends and family updated on what's going on. So, I am going to make a better effort.
It's late now, need to get some shut eye. But I hope to be back tomorrow to share what's been going on with us. And yes, I am still updating the outlook of the blog so please be patient. I deeply apologize for my blogging negligence and pledge to be better.
Good Night and Good Morning to those in Sweden!
