A stressful anniversary dinner led us to make a phone call that we’ve never made before. It only took one call to Grandma M. and she had a flight booked. She arrived on Thursday afternoon and we spent the entire day together on Friday. We took you boys to the pediatrician and then Grandma & I treated ourselves to a spa pedicure. Then it was time for Grandma to get you all to herself!! As great as baby sitters are, nothing compares to leaving you boys in the trusted hands of a grandparent. While you boys had your first stay alone with Grandma, Dad & I enjoyed a few “firsts” of our own:
First Couples Massage –
Lucky for you, no pictures were taken of this. You can just imagine it instead – lights down low, soft music playing, and us laying on our individual massage tables giggling as we joked with our masseuses. That was the fastest hour ever and we both left feeling super refreshed!
First Drive-In Movie –
If this weren’t over an hour away, we’d take you boys here all the time! Laying back in the seat + windows down + wind blowing through
First Over Night Stay Away –
While I admit that we talked about you often and thought of you even more, we thoroughly enjoyed sleeping! We slept in until 9:00 and we probably could’ve slept for longer if it weren’t for…
First* Segway Tour –
We booked a morning tour of the fabulous Big D and it involved touring via segway. *Now, Daddy had actually operated one before as he and Andy did some short try-out of one way back when - But this tour was an hour and a half long so I will count it as a “first”. We learned so much history but had fun at the same time!
We rushed home after lunch because we were anxious to see you & because I wanted to spend some time with Grandma for Mother's Day. Jax, unfortunately, you were not feeling too hot by the time we got home. You were battling something yucky and had spiked a fever. Grandma played nurse as she took care of you all day Monday while Daddy & I worked. And, since I still haven't found the secret word to keep her here, Grandma returned home on Monday night. Despite a little sickness, I still think y'all had a blast with her! There were shopping trips filled with way more presents than necessary - about 4 different types of sports practices - picnics in the bedroom - and even a birthday celebration for a friend! Only a few fun moments were captured on Grandma's camera but I'm thankful for these memories nonetheless:
