- your child's request to stay in pj's and a tutu all day doesn't even phase you. Sure, why not? No one knows
who we are here anyway :)
- You learn at least one new way to play dominos
- You remember what it's like to enjoy a fiction book, or any book for that matter, because some one kindly took your kids out for the afternoon.
- You remember how good those middle-of-a-book-naps are. Ahhh....... bliss!
- You go to Walmart (cause you forgot to pack a toothbrush)
- The day isn't based on time, but rather what the next meal is
pinterest success! |
- You eat some really good meals!
- Staying up till midnight talking with friends isn't a fluke you regret later because of all you have to do the next day, but much enjoyed time
Nick and Kristen, soooo enjoyed time with them! |
- The little things that bother you at home don't seem to matter as much
- You understand why people in the south like wrap-around porches as you watch your two year old happily run her 35th lap after dinner
- You take a walk, just for fun
- You go to Walmart (hey, in a small town this place is hoppin'!)
E1, E2 and cousin Anna playing so sweet! |
Emma loved the bunnies |
no denying the family ties there! |
Lord, thank you for this girl!! |
As you can tell, we just got back from a great vacation. 2,000 miles in the car with little ones is an adventure, but the chance to be with family, see friends and let our family have a break from the daily grind.... so worth it. Now we're back, refueled and refreshed, ready for the next adventure (though I haven't had the heart to tell E1 she can't continue to wear pj top and a tutu as her daily attire......)
till the next edition,
