I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put an exclamation point at the end of that title or not. I wanted to, but then I thought some of you might take offense to the little bit of excitement we shared as PARKINSON FAMILY OF FOUR this morning.
Don't get me wrong.
We are so fortunate and appreciative for everyone who came to visit us this summer.
We had a wonderful time catching up and making memories with all of our guests in Lakefield. Seriously, the proof is in this pictorial pudding, you guys...
Fun times and beautiful photographs aside, this summer was a whirlwind of y'all and I really, really miss Phillip and the girls. Call me crazy (yes, I know that I've been with them ALL SUMMER), but I haven't had much time with JUST THEM. MY PEOPLE. And I think we can all agree that time with JUST OUR PEOPLE is essential. You know, time where you can get up whenever you want and eat whenever you want. Time where you can stay in your pajamas until you well please and then complete an unscheduled repertoire of things you like best. Time to be quiet and time to be loud and time to change your mind about dinner ten times before finally deciding on a cereal party on the living room floor. And, FOR THE LOVE OF SUMMER, time to let the Cheerios you spill decorate the living room floor until the urge to sweep strikes (#couldbedayslater). Sigh.
We are one tired out family, I tell ya!
So today, after an emotional goodbye with GG, Grandma and Grumps, we embraced quiet time all morning long and stayed in our pajamas until the afternoon. It was exactly what we needed and exactly what we need more of in the coming days. Alas, there's a flight to catch on Wednesday night and we've got some packing up to do!
Thank you to everyone who drove to see us this summer. Some of you made multiple trips and we are SO, SO grateful! We hope you enjoyed your stay as much as we enjoyed having you.
That being said......

Some of you didn't leave any photo evidence. Next year!
