If your ever wondering what to get a parent(s) of young children as a gift.. here is a clue...

A NIGHT OUT no kids with BABYSITTERS PROVIDED!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is right my dear blog friends... Uncle Jer, wonderful Uncle Jer for my bday provided for a weekend in a Durham Hotel, shopping at Streets of Southpoint, and dinner at Maggiano's.

The day was great. Chris and I walked the mall hand and hand, smiled, ate uninterrupted meals, took slow leisurely strolls from store to store. I got to stop and just stare at window displays, try lotions at L'Occitane, admire head bands and hair accessories at Nordstroms and I spent hours at Anthropologie. In fact one sales lady looked at me and said "Wow, your back again?".

The weekend was amazing and rejuvenating. I love mommyhood but I think everyone needs to fill their cup up with a little non parenting time. For me, sweet pea by my side, Anthro, and yummy food is a spectacular gift.

THANK YOU UNCLE JER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

& Thank You Aunt Lor and Uncle Will for watching "Frick and Frack".

Kisses, G

Beach Week 2010

Hi, my dear blog friends. There is just so much to update you on. I do not know where to start. We got back from nine GLORIOUS days at Hilton Head Island. HHI is one of my happy places in life. Chris and I were married there so I have so many fond memories. I just love this place. It has sweet southern charm. Think bicycle riding to the bakery, Spanish Moss hanging from trees, mornings at the beach, afternoons at the pool. Tons of family fun. Fireworks. Gelato. The list goes on and on. God has been good to we Povs. We have good times, we have hard times. This was a good time, a very good time. This is the first of a few Beach Week Posts. My favorite event this year was the Pov All Family Picture. While the pictures are still being developed wanted to show you some "pre"shots at Grandma and Grandpa's Place.

They make me laugh and smile. As you can see we wore, white or khaki. You might laugh but I am geeky and love this kind of thing!
