st. louis with great aunt lydia

this past weekend we headed out to st. louis to spend time with matt's aunt lydia. she lives in southern california but was refereeing a college volleyball tournament in st. louis. so we all met up and had a really fun weekend.

we headed back to the magic house, an absolute favorite. we also went to the arch...where matt, lydia and isaiah traveled to the top. mommy was just fine to stay on the ground with the girls.

it was a perfectly timed escape. much needed and a huge gift. thank you aunt lydia for your generosity and for making it happen.
