When we got back to Hot Springs on Friday evening, Caleb came running out to greet us with the biggest hugs ever. He nearly suffocated me by squeezing so hard. That lasted about 2 minutes and he was off and running again – chasing lizards, following in Pops’ shadow and peeing off the porch (one of his favorite things to do at the lake). Nola was glad to see us, but held a little bit of a grudge before she finally warmed up to me. She made sure I knew that she was officially LaLa & Pops’ girl after spending so much time with them.
We eased ourselves back into parenthood with an extra day in Hot Springs. Mr. L. bought a tube for Caleb this summer since he’s finally big enough to ride one and he’s now had 2 years of swimming lessons. (That’s something he did while we were in Florida.) We decided to spend Saturday on the lake. A few pictures from our fun in the sun…

Caleb tubing with Daddy and Mama (Yep – I got in the tube.)
Nola loved to stand at the front of the boat and watch the water
Swimming Practice (he eventually got brave enough to take off the life jacket)
After we boated, we had a good old Southern shrimp boil and then sat around and watched the kids play while we visited. These two silly monkeys put on LaLa’s old glasses.
By the time we got ready to come home on Sunday morning, Mom had washed all of our laundry. (Hallelujah for her laundry addiction!) We loaded up the car to the gills and hit the road. Nola (as usual) fell asleep 30 minutes before we pulled in the driveway. Caleb watched movies all the way home. Summer was definitely off to a good start.
