Golfers?!?!

What makes me smile, is my phone assumed that there is no way that that I would use the golfers so each time I write it there's the autocorrect making an adjustment. 

Michael and I went  on the 2nd annual CTK folf tournament. We each swung on one hole. 

It shouldn't come as a surprise that we are not golfers. We went to support CTK. I took pictures of the golfers, Michael drove me around in the golf cart. 

It was a beautiful day on a lovely course. That was until our cart ran out of juice and we were stranded on the 12tg hole...

But even then we had something to smile about. 

We are not golfers.

It may not have been a cupcake, but the morning after my birthday, I greeted the day on the beach watching the sunrise. 

It was delightful being one of the only ones on the beach for the moment the sun peered over the horizon then burst through the clouds. As a special treat, a dolphin was playing under the rising sun. 

The day continued with the same pleasantries. We sat and ate breakfast overlooking this beautiful sight. 

From there we went to the farmers market and enjoyed strolling hand-in-hand. Back at the spa we had a couples massage. 

Followed by a lovely light lunch.

So that we could get back to the spa for our champagne pedicures. Michael was a little hesitant, but by the end, he embraced it. 

We walked along the beach for a while before heading to the mineral pool. 

We dressed for dinner and ate one of the best meals we've ever shared. We took our time enjoying an appitizer, a bottle of wine, and a wonderfully cooked meal. 

Sunday morning we took a quick dip in the mineral pool before having breakfast and getting ready to get our boys for church. 

What started as an awkward silence and forced conversation when Michael and I were alone without children and a promise to be work-free, turned into a terrific weekend tying us closer together before things get busy and crazy. 

Perfectly content. What a great start to. 27. 

When Monday night football gets old and late, I'll be back here, smiling about this weekend.

 

Weekend runaway

To celebrate our anniversary, my birthday, and the beginning of NFL season, Michael took me away for the weekend sans little boys.

Bucket list item accomplished 

While at the beach some people showed up for a function with a tent and a truck load of surfboards. 

They said I was welcome to try and they'd help me out. As I swam out I was close to chickening out, but after some quick instructions, he let go of the board, I popped up, and I was surfing! What an amazing feeling! I caught three waves and road them in standing. I was extremely grateful and high on life.

Oh boy!

I for this text from Joshua's teacher that he was enjoying pretend play.

Back at home, Sikas learned a new trick. I was packing lunches, turned around and saw Silas watching Michael mow the lawn.

Here we go!

Taking CTK by storm these Schotteys showed up ready for adventure!

First day of school selfie. 

We took Michael to the airport for a quick business trip that morning before heading off for our own great day.

ready to take on Kindergarten...

Silas was a little like Linus... blankie always in hand,  but considering his daddy left and he was starting school, it was ok

Joshua said his lunch box was too heavy! 

Brothers reunited at the end of the day

Must have been a rough day for Joshua, he has hands in both of   his "taggies"

I handed a crying Silas off to his teacher on the first day of school and it broke my heart. I was running behind and feeling rushed and it wasn't how I  envisioned the day going. 

Despite the morning, we turned things around and had an a-ok first day.
