Hyatt Happiness

we go every summer.  for 7 or 8 years now...we can't remember.

it's a weekend of laughs-tears-stories-more-laughs-get-on-each-others-nerves-just-a-little-bit-because-we-are-family-more-smiles-belly-laughs-stay-up-late-talking-lounge-by-the-pool-lazy-river-and-just-be-pampered...weekend.

this year it was wedged firmly between family vacations, sports schedules, home renovations, baby showers, home relocations, and the upcoming birth of Baby Grady.

it almost didn't happen.

but we made it happen. 

(disclaimer...the following pictures are posted with no particular rhyme or reason...and with very little commentary because a)I am very tired from Hyatt weekend and b)have also been told by above family that sometimes gets on nerves that I "need to post more" and not worry about writing.)

Here ya go, bitches...(aka mom, molly, and kelly)

Love you more than words.

this girl...at 37 weeks pregnant...was a trooper.  Even though she doesn't care for that word...she was.

and can I get a whoop-whoop for the random, cheerful man who wore these shorts on September 11th, and seemed to love parading them around the pool area??? we loved him for that.

Well, it's a no brainer - spend time with my 3 favorite people in the world for the weekend and I can't stop smiling.
We go thru the gamut of emotions on one of these weekends, each one of us feeling safe to be ourselves.
So many laughs, so little time and we make the most of it. Always bring a ton of magazines and usually don't open a one.
Thank you, Jennifer, Molly and Kelly for being the most terrific daughters and women that I could ever wish for. My pride is endless.
Love, Mom

The pictures are awesome . . . they bring out the happiness you, Molly, Kelly and Mary were feeling . . . they show the closeness you have for one another and most of all . . . they show the everlasting love you have for each other . . . and that’s what it means to be a F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Love Ya!
Dad & Grandpa
