A Bitter/Sweet Week

For the first time EVER - I was apart from my son for a full week!!  He went to a Leadership Camp in Texas.  It was a wonderful experience for him....(notice the emphasis on "him!" Yes, I know he's 16, but  does a number make you care less, miss less...or love less? I think not.)  Anyway, back to the camp - it was a week jammed packed with seminars, agility tests, public speaking....just to name a few activities.  I sent a camera with him, and you know how many pictures he took...ZERO!! A big fat zero! Ah...it's killing me!  He said one of the counselors took over 600 pics, and I'm waiting patiently to receive the link....(well, maybe not so patiently!).  :)


We missed our guys.


What made the week even more interesting was Max was also out of town.  So it was just my Snookums  and I.  We had such a sweet time together! (Hence the title, bitter/sweet!) We had our own Mama & Daughter Camp." We shopped, swam, ate out, had lots of popcorn with World Cup (go USA!) and got our fill of our favorite cooking shows, played chess, worked out, did our nails, had an appetizer party, dessert party, we played with her hair, we talked, talked and talked, we prayed together, slept together....and had plenty snuggling time....and let me just say - she is the world's best snuggler!  Here are just a few of my favorite snuggling pics.  :)







It was a super fun week with you, Snookums!  :)
