Last night we returned from a weekend whirlwind in Wisconsin. We left Saturday morning and drove home Sunday afternoon, giving us less than 24 hours at Lakelawn Resort--but the moments we had together were priceless.
We were privileged to attend the wedding of my collegiate best friend and her fiance. What a treat! Wade and I enjoyed spending time with the bride and groom while a babysitter sat in the room with our sleeping daughter. We also had the opportunity to catch up with old friends, slow dance and laugh, laugh, laugh! Now that's what I call a great date!
Although the drive was long and the weather was freezing, we made the very best of the weekend. We even had a champagne brunch (my first ever) with the wedding party on Sunday morning. Fancy!
Before we left, Liliana and I took a swim together in the hotel pool. What a joy it was to hold my slippery little toddler in the water as she learned to kick and float. When we finished splashing around and got out of the pool, Liliana exclaimed, "Mom, am pruny and shibbering!" Sure enough, her little feet & hands were shriveled up and her whole body was quivering. Even her teeth were chattering. What an observant child. I always suspected she was a genius!
After that terrific experience, I've decided that I will take Liliana to an indoor pool once a week until summertime. I want her to be totally comfortable in the water when the swimming months arrive. If she's anything like my side of the family, she'll grow fins and a gill!
Here's to family memories. Ramona
