SURPRISE for the Mommies!

On our third day at the beach, Brian and Tim insisted that they needed to make a trip to the grocery store that morning, even though we had just gone the day before and there was really nothing in particular that we needed. Kristy and I both thought that was strange, but didn't think too much of it. When they returned, they told us to close our eyes and brought us downstairs to the little living room that was beside the pool. There on the table was a nice spread of fruit and chocolate and champagne. They told us that they would be taking the babies for the morning and that we would have a few hours "off"! They also told us that a lady would be showing up shortly to give us both a one hour massage! YIPPPEEEE!!!!!! I LOVE massages! It was wonderful. I went first and then got to relax by the pool afterwards with a gossipy magazine they had brought us from thier grocery store trip. It was so relaxing, and really so sweet of our guys to treat us to this most relaxing morning of the whole trip. Babies were fed and well taken care of when our pampering sessions were over!
Here we are waiting for our massage.......we were giddy and excited, and so happy to have a moment to ourselves!

Thanks Brian and Tim! You guys are keepers! Love you babe!

Monkey girl finds a new favorite food.....

While on vacation, we discovered that Addie loves ice cream, just like some body else I know!


And Tim doesn't mind sharing his ice cream with her at all! What a pair!

Later, after her snack, she settled into her Daddy's arms for a bottle and a little relaxation......


Here's to the end of a long day with lots of yummy snacks!

Dad, do you like her new hat? It reminded us of you guys down there........

Something very interesting......

So my Aunt Pat called here a little while ago. I am very close with her daughter, Heather, my cousin, and usually I catch up on my Aunt Pat, Uncle Bob and Cousin Eric through her. So, I was pleasantly surprised to have received a phone call from her. She sounded very cheerful and asked me how we were doing, and then told me that she had dreamed about us last night and how cute Addie was and how much she had grown in her dream. I told her how I thought it was ironic that she dreamed about us last night since we had been having a tough night with Addie getting sick and having to rush home and all. This caught her totally off gaurd. She then confessed to me that she had dreamed something more the night before and was actually quite shaken up afterwards. She said that in her dream, Tim and Addie and I were in a strange house and that something was wrong with Tim and Addie, but she couldn't tell what. She knew in the dream that there was something wrong, but couldnt visibly tell. She said that she prayed in her dream to "heal" them and then woke up and was very upset about it. She and my uncle Bob talked about the dream and then both prayed for our little family because it seemed so real. It really shook her up, and she didn't know what to think of it. So, she wanted to call me to make sure things were ok here, but didnt want to scare me. She said that if she had called here and I had said that Tim and Addie were away somewhere together, she would have lost it! But, when she called and I mentioned that Addie was very sick, she was even more emotional about the dream. How ironic is that?
We think that God knew Addie needed some prayers and He made sure she got them. Its strange how He works sometimes.......thanks Aunt Pat and Uncle Bob for the prayers last night. Ironically enough, we needed them very much and we are all home safely and starting to feel better.

Welcome Home.....ready or not!

Well, the Hewitts are finally home and one day ahead of schedule too! What a wonderful week we had and we were so sad to see it coming to an end on Friday. For most of the morning Kristy and I tried not to remind each other that our wonderful week was almost over. We wanted our last day to be lots of fun! Then, it happened. Remember how I said I have this wierd panicky thing going on when it comes to throw up? Well, just as we were finished preparing a nice italian feast for our last night in the beach cottage, Addie got sick. When I say got sick, I mean, got violently ill all over herself, her high chair and her Daddy! She looked plain miserable. She also had a fever of 102.4 at that point, and that really stressed us out. We ended up packing up our things very quickly and heading home a little early. Both Tim and I just felt like we needed to be home near a hospital or atleast near a doctor, just in case she got worse. Plus, it always makes you feel better to be at home when you are not feeling well. With Kristy and Brian's help, we managed to pack up all of our things and load up the truck in less than 2 hours. We were headed this way by 9:00pm and in our own beds by 11:30. Addie is still not feeling herself, and her fever is still up and down, but she is holding down some liquid now. I hate it when she is sick like this. I hurt for her! Hopefully she will be her old self again real soon. I have lots of pictures to share and plenty of fun stories, so I will try and do that over the next week or so. The pictures above are of Addie and Lily on our last day......just a few hours before she got sick......She really had such a good morning and then all of a sudden, it just hit her. Keep her in your prayers. We missed talking/emailing/reading everyone's blogs this week!

Do you miss us yet?

I am on Kristy and Brian's computer and this is the only picture from our trip I could find. Im not suppose to be blogging this week and everyone gives me a hard time when they see me on the computer, so I am sneaking this little message while they are all down by the pool! Can you believe how close to these horses we were able to get? They were so beautiful! Still having loads of fun.....but anyone who says vacationing with two babies under a year old is relaxing, is CRAZY! We are all still exhausted! I have some more great pictures to share and promise to get on that as soon as we get home! We are headed out for Mexican here in a few minutes!

Ok....so I found a picture for you! Enjoy.......

Aren't they precious

Happy Vacation days......

No pictures yet, and I have to be quick, but I just wanted to say hello and let our readers know that the Hewitt's LOVE vacation days! What a beautiful house! Addie loves the pool and her little float! She could stay in it for hours! I love the sunshine and even have a little color! We are eating well and enjoying our company. The girls are so funny together and Kristy always makes me laugh! Yesterday we saw a wild horse on the beach with her little pony...we drove right up to them and took some great pictures. I can't wait to share those with you next week! Hope everyone is have a great week...... I will update again when we get back home.....love, Carrie
