We are not letting a baby slow us down....we are right back to our old ways of having big plans nearly every weekend! It seems like if we aren't going somewhere we have visitors coming to us (which we love!). We got to visit with some sweet friends from Durham last weekend, Patrick and Leigh Anne. They were in our small group and came to Charlotte for the golf tournament Sunday. They then joined us for dinner and stayed the night. It was fun to see them! It was Patrick's birthday, so we celebrated with a Cinco de Mayo theme consisting of chicken enchiladas, black bean salad, salsa, guacamole with feta, margaritas, and sopapilla cheesecake bars for dessert. They visited Mike's office Monday morning before heading out. We hope to catch up with these two again soon!
This weekend starts a busy time of travel for us - we are heading to Lynchburg on Friday for Abbey's graduation from Liberty University. From there, Jackson and I will be heading home with the rest of my family for 2 weeks (yikes!!). I'm excited but will miss Mike. He is already getting sad at the idea of us being gone for that long. He will keep himself busy though - he plans to go to Myrtle next weekend for a dental conference and then to the beach the following weekend to go fishing with his dad. I believe we will be home for a week or so before we take a trip with the Modlins to Myrtle Beach. This will be Jackson's first time to the beach! We can't wait to see how he reacts. July will also be a busy month with another trip back to TN for the fourth, a trip to Charleston for a wedding, and last but not least, 10 days in Switzerland!
I will do my best to update on our travels and continue to do Jackson's monthly updates at that time. We hope that everyone is having a nice spring so far. We wish everyone safe travels throughout the remainder of the spring and summer. Hope to get to visit with many of you soon!
I don't have any pictures for this post, but I do want to share this guacamole recipe. For any of you that like feta, this is absolutely delicious and always a big hit!
Guacamole and Feta Cheese:
2 large ripe avacados
2 large ripe tomatoes, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
2 T minced garlic
2 T olive oil
1 t fresh lime juice
1 t Tabasco sauce
4 ounces crumbled feta
Mash the avocados. Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, oil, lime juice, and Tabasco sauce. Stir until blended. Add crumbled feta. Stir and serve immediately with tortilla chips.
*I always add extra avocados to make the dip go further.
Enjoy!
