Annual DDMM Hornby Weekend Getaway!

Early morning breakfast dates! They are my favorite.
 Perfect eye-sight for little monkey girl!

 Jon took Quinnlyn on an adventure as I headed out to Hornby Island for the weekend with Mary, Dana and Dixie for our annual weekend away! Some cute pics of their adventure together

 I love that he is the dad that puts her first, always. And that he will do fun things with her, and take her out in nature, and just connect with her. I love him so much for the kind of dad he is.
 LOVE THESE LADIES! 

  
It is just so beautiful here. And it makes it even more so that time spent is so refreshing and relaxing.
 Jon and Andrew made plans to go the petting zoo, and then Aimee came over and wanted to join and she invited Luke and the girls, so then it was a petting zoo party!


 Quinny was talking about this for days afterwards! The goat parade! haha! Jon said they had a great afternoon
 Little Holly. I love you! Look at those eyes. She is so sweet!
 Eston was playing in the All-Star game in Vic, so Andrew and Jon took the girls to that after the petting zoo. Jon said Ady was cold, so Quinny laid her sweater on her. Their friendship is adorable!!!
 Just some cuddles as they got tired watching the game. I can't wait until they are older and we can show them these pics haha!
 Sitting around the cozy living room, around the fire, chatting and drinking coffee/tea. Baring our souls to each other, filling each other with so much love and laughing. Amazing weekend.
 Sunday morning Quinny and Jon went for a walk with Nannie! Aren't these two so beautiful?! Q missed her Nannie so much while she was gone in March and talked about her all the time, so this was a pretty cute pic for me to get! Love these two! I have the best Mother-In Law. I am also glad she is home! During the week, I usually call or text a few times just to chat, and check in. I missed her! Also, this picture is just my favorite of them.
 I had found out just a few days before the trip that our second IUI had failed. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I was so sad, totally devastated. It just feels like our dream of another baby is so far beyond our reach. It is hard to know to do - do we keep pouring so much money into these treatments? Do we start looking at adoption? We know that we want another child, we just are unsure of the path. And my heart. And I am really tired from all this. Anyways, so because of that, I almost didn't go on the weekend away, I wanted to stay home and just rest and be by myself. But these women convinced me to come, and I did, and I am so so so so glad that I did. I needed them. I needed their love and their wisdom and their laughter. Their friendship is life-giving and I needed to breathe it in. God knows. And I am thankful. This weekend came at perfect timing and was with the exact right people. Thank you, DDM for being who you are, and for loving me through everything, and walking this path right beside me.
