So have fun you two!!<br />Ooh and for an added bonus: I don't know how long you'll be gone but I bet the girls would love it if you sent them a postcard. Oh and try not to let them feel your reservations about leaving them, make it upbeat sweet and short goodbyes.<br />P.S. I love sopapilla cheesecake!!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014699148300634736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-40550622932299835102010-05-07T21:58:30.472-05:002010-05-07T21:58:30.472-05:00Fun post!
I'm so glad you get to take a trip! ...Fun post!<br />I'm so glad you get to take a trip! When we left our little girl for the first time at 1 yr. old, it was to go on a missions trip to France! I was a crazy emotional basket case! We did make a dvd of my husband and I reading her favorite books. We also called like crazy. You most certainly will go through "emotional phases" throughout the time away...fun, freedom, and loneliness!<br />The focused time with your husband will make it all worth it!!!The Sneaky Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004106053823875453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-54924280573669996722010-05-07T14:32:15.935-05:002010-05-07T14:32:15.935-05:00Yay for you and your mini-vacay!

My in-laws took my babies (who had just turned 2 and 4) to Disney this past fall for a whole week! That about ripped my heart out! But talking to them on the phone every few hours did help. More for me than them... :) We're going on our 10-year anniversary trip this summer to CO and I have to leave them again AND baby Tate! Yikes! My heart aches just thinking about it. But it will be HEAVENLY to spend some QT with hubby again! :)une autre mèrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08785118854145562521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-51945306240613309342010-05-07T11:26:32.333-05:002010-05-07T11:26:32.333-05:00I still trying to figure out how you can have idea...I still trying to figure out how you can have ideas to make the day fun all the way 'till dinner time!

I am...Oh, dahhhhhhling, you shouldn't have! :)<br /><br />I am ridiculously jealous of your weekend away with the hubby, but I understand the trepidation over being away from the girls. Ben's trying to convince me to go to a concert this month that is mere hours away -we'd only be gone for half a day!- but I get a stomach ache thinking about it. Babies are totally fine to bring to rock concerts, right?<br /><br />Sopapilla cheesecake? I am making some pronto!Lenaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128174350293301827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-83080073586040770792010-05-07T08:44:41.040-05:002010-05-07T08:44:41.040-05:00So let's discuss the important part: do you kn...So let's discuss the important part: do you know how close I live to Annapolis and DC? Okay, I'm an hour-ish from Annapolis but that's considered in the neighborhood around here. Wanna meet for coffee? Does that fit in your wedding schedule? Would that be awesome? Weird?

Yay for Justin's day off today! I hope you're having a glorious time!<br /><br />I have no advice on leaving your girls, but I do hope you have a great time on your trip!<br /><br />And um, I laughed out loud at number 5.That Married Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363886412589745900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-72427550397649079662010-05-07T07:17:45.524-05:002010-05-07T07:17:45.524-05:00That's so weird!

My only recommendation, get everything packed and ready to go earlyish so that you don't have to worry about it all when you're saying goodbye, and then let yourself cry if you feel like you need it. AFTER YOU LEAVE THE GIRLS. I took the first 20 minutes of the car trip to just BREAK DOWN and cry and worry and freak out, and then I was shockingly fine the rest of the weekend. I actually really enjoyed feeling like a grownup again, waking up without a little human alarm clock, and getting pictures on my phone from Grandma about how much fun my baby boy was having at home. I think it was a really good thing for John and I to get away. So enjoy it :)Erinhttp://www.littlekitegirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-70360026205684494982010-05-07T07:12:09.527-05:002010-05-07T07:12:09.527-05:00These were hilarious!!
