Girls' Weekend 2009'

As often as we can, my sisters, my mom, and I sneak away and take a girls' weekend. This year, they all came to Florida and we rented a condo on Lido Key. It was perfect. We laughed, shared stories, ate yummy fudge, walked on the beach. We even sewed a little. We left 14 kids behind with loving and devoted husbands. In the last 12 years, we've managed to have 8 of these wonderful weekends. This was the first time in a long time it has just been us girls, with no babies. It was just a small, lucky window of time in between baby seasons. This spring, we'll have 3 new babies added to our growing family, bringing the total to a whopping 21!!!
