I am feeling very excited today because this weekend Amalia and I are hopping on a plane and flying down to Florida to meet up with my mom, my sister, brother-in-law, and nieces. Anel, Luca, and my mother-in-law will be joining us a few days later (Anel has to work). We rented a big house to fit all of us and plan to hang out in the pool and the beach, cook lots of meals, and generally enjoy the sunshine. Did I mention how excited I am to get out of town?!
While we will miss Lukey and Anel a lot for the first 3 days, it will be so nice to get one on one time with my girl. Not to mention a much easier travel day haha.
Amalia came home from school early yesterday with a fever but seems to be about 50% better today. Crossing my fingers that by Sunday she’s good to go for travel.
I have to get back to my tiny little patient over here so need to cut this short but have a great weekend!
