About a month ago my mom called and said, "Hey. Your birthday is next month. If you and Johnny want to get away I would LOVE to come keep your kids." Are. you. kidding. me.!! We jumped on the opportunity. Katie was sick about a week prior to getting away, so Johnny was figuring Kade would soon follow Katie's lead and get sick too. We didn't let Kade go anywhere. We even kept him home from the church nursery for a week before our trip. Selfish, we know. But so worth it.
We had a great weekend. I shopped each day until my back, legs and feet were screaming in pain. Johnny drank lots of Starbucks, looked at books at bookstores and took naps. We had awesome fajitas and lobster at Uncle Julios. Great weekend getaway. And mom made great memories with the kids. Mom taught Katie how to crochet, they played lots of games, Katie beat mom in a puzzle competition, and Kade was Kade. Mom said, "Kade is very active and busy, but so lovable!" Believe it or not when we got home, she said she would come keep them again so we could go Christmas shopping in December.
Thank you mom for being a blessing in our life! Thank you for offering to come keep our kids.
