Nicholas was out of town for 10 days taking the high schoolers to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. It was just Mommy and the little boys. Nicholas' parents left for Nebraska on our 3rd day without Daddy, so it really was just Mommy and the little boys. We visited the Wildflower Center with Grandma before they left. We visited a ranch for a company picnic for Mommy's work. Big Bro enjoyed the Longhorns, but the bouncy house was his favorite!
Mommy didn't get much "alone" time or personal space. I was humbled but the offers of help from our church family, even though I wasn't able to actually get things together enough to accept all the help! On Days 4-8, Daddy was canoeing in the Boundary Waters and we were not able to talk with him. We sure were happy to talk to him when he was back in cell phone range!
On Day 6, we had a special day watching a movie at Alamo Drafthouse, having lunch with some of Mommy's friends from work, checking out some art at Laguna Gloria, and watching the peacocks at Mayfield Preserve.
On Day 7, at 2:30 in the morning, reinforcements came in the form of the Alabama Aunts! At the end of the week we also received visits from some of the Dallas family. We survived, and Daddy made it home safely to us at 7:30pm on Day 10! We are learning how to live together again!
