Flowers for the Girls

So...this past weekend Jordyn & I went to a mother-daughter retreat at Camp Timber-lee in East Troy for the weekend which left Joe and Jenna to have a daddy-daughter weekend at home. Daddy comes home from work today and surprises all of us girls with flowers!!

My card says "Tam - you are my love!! Joe

Jordyn's card says "Jordyn - I missed you over the weekend and I'm so happy you're home. Daddy

Jenna's card says "Jenna - I had a great time spending last weekend with you. Daddy

He brought me my favorite flowers - two stems of stargazer lilies (which were our wedding flowers) and the girls got two roses each. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and the girls are so blessed too to have him for their Daddy. He loves us unconditionally and there is no place he would rather be than with his 3 girls!!

Mother-Daughter Retreat

Last weekend Jordyn and I went to a mother-daughter retreat at Camp Timber-lee. We checked in friday night at 6:30 and came home Sunday afternoon. When we got there, we checked in, went and signed up for our weekend activities and then had a praise and worship time. After that - they had a dessert hour with a yummy chocolate fountain. When the chocolate ran out we went back to our cabin and crawled into the same bunk and went to sleep......

This is how we spent our day on Saturday:

mom and daughter photo shoot

made crafts at the leather shop

climbed a rock wall

went to the nature center and played with the turtles and animals

went on an hour horseback riding trail ride

went to Acorns game room

had a sit down harvest meal

went on a pumpkin walk

bonfire

made caramel apples

and finally to bed..again in the same bunk!

Sunday - we went paddle boating and to brunch and then back to Acorns game room to play carpet ball before leaving to go home!

We had such a great weekend together! I loved having so much one on one time together just her and I to talk and laugh and do so much fun stuff together. I love that she still wants to hold my hand when we are just walking and talking. The pumpkin walk had a question for us to answer at each lighted pumpkin and I got to hear her thoughts and feelings about things I wouldn't normally think to ask her. The weekend confirmed what I already know: that I have an amazing, wonderful daughter in every way! She asked me if we can go again next year - I wouldn't miss it for the world!!
