And we're off.


Doesn't he look miserable? Like he just knows that we're leaving & missing us already?

Our first getaway sans our sweet little boy. He's staying home & having a week's worth of bonding time with Grandma. Even though I cried a little bit when we read him stories & said family prayer with him tonight (I'm that mom, & I'm okay with it), I know that he'll be just great, & will likely have the very best week of his life. He'll probably even learn to eat his vegetables, because my Mama Jan is generally just magic like that.

But I'm going to miss him (so, so much). 

Also, I have the very, very best mother. I love her so much, I love that my son loves her, & I love that she's giving us this very sweet gift of time with each other. We need it, & I'm so happy to get it. Mike was asking me tonight how we could ever repay her. I'm not quite sure, but while I try to figure it out, I'm just going to keep trying to be a better mama myself so that I can be like her someday - minus a few babies (!).

See you later, blog!
