Back from the East

As some of you may be aware, I headed back to VA for about 14 days to help out my dearest friend Ashley. Her family had to overcome some medical issues and she needed some help with her household. I truly mean this with every ounce of honesty that i posses. The women of this world who try to work full time and run a household are super women...let's emphasize SUPER. I could not imagine doing it alone. Ash's hubby was in the hospital for awhile and she has three small children..the youngest two being approx. 11 months apart. I did what I could although it did not feel like much. Between daycare, preschool and kindergarten...my girl's days are jam packed and I have no clue how she can keep it all straight. Her daughter, Alexis was a fairy for Halloween and I had the honor of doing her hair and makeup before her big debut at the Kindergarten fall festival...isn't she beautiful? She is truly my greatest costume masterpiece. We also got to go out for a wine night and hang out with some of the girls.

I went home at a great time: I got to spend time with Ash, Al and the family. My mother got knee replacement surgery so I was able to visit with her and my friend Kelly gave birth to her first daughter so i was able to meet her while I was home. I am happy to be home. My Adam was so gracious when I arrived back in NV. I am sure he missed the full time attention that he receives all the time. I got back Wednesday and then in flew Lorie and Em for Halloween.
