"Where have you been lately?" you may be asking yourself. Well, I've been around...just super busy. Casey just got back from 2 weeks in Germany, so we are back into the swing of things and our routine. Thank goodness. It's tough being a single mom!

But, parts of me love it because my girls follow me EV-ER-Y-WHERE. They're just making sure I'm not going anywhere too. How could I with the eagle eye watch they kept on me the past two weeks? It was just so precious. That being said, we missed dad like WOAH. They were beyond excited when he came home. Kate filmed it, and I plan to upload it so ya'll can see just how darn cute the girls are with their daddy.

I couldn't capture many other moments while Casey was gone because he had the camera. For good reason. I mean he was in Germany and Switzerland and Canada...and I was in Charlotte.

The girls graduate from school this Thursday. They are so smart. We are proud parents. They'll get graduation caps and certificates and everything. Yes, we will take pictures. Duh.

Here are a couple moments that I did manage to capture on my cell phone even though Casey had the for-real camera. Thank goodness for technology, right?

I love being a mom.

Brooks has been eating lots and sleeping lots. She's like a teenager right now! And growing, growing, growing. She's still a tiny little peanut though. Tiny. She was nodding off halfway through school on Thursday night. And then she conked out before we even left the parking lot. She likes to stretch out all up the back of the passenger seat chair like she's about to climb a rock face. Then she settles in. Presh.

And then cause she sleeps all the time, she'll half-wake up and look around and then land her sights on you and just all confused and sleep-drunk. Then just plop back down for more naps.

Here we are driving home from a day at work with mom (Friday). Boone is super cuddly. Boone just loves to be close. My heart melted when she did this. We drove for miles and miles like this.

Play hard, sleep hard around here.

Tonight we'll go to dad's and papa's softball game. I plan to bring my little cheerleaders if it's not too hot. Go team!
