... the big kids will play. And be spoiled and loved on and have lots of fun. I have to say things couldn't have gone any better. Prayers were answered big time. People would say "I can't believe you're taking a three month old to Spain." My response was "I've never thought twice about Carter, its leaving my "big" kids for 11 days that I'm stressing about." I kept myself awake at night worrying about these two (and the sanity of whoever would be watching them). I never realized just how much time I have the kids by myself until I have to find someone to fill my shoes. When Beverly said she could watch them, I was excited because they knew her and were used to her. With Jen set to cover one day to give Beverly a break, we were all set. I have to say I was a little worried with Caleb testing his limits to see what he could get away with. But they let him know early on who was in charge. Despite one major fit, Caleb locking Jen in his room and acting out a little bit at school, it sounds like everything went really well. With Zoo trips, TCBY, CC's pizza, chick fil A and a lots of Daddy time, I think these kiddos were fine without me. In fact, I only Skyped with them a few times because they were always to busy for Mom!!! I couldn't thank Tyler, Beverly and Jen enough for taking care of my "big" kids. Everything was going so well while I was gone, I really was able to enjoy my trip and not worry about what was happening at home.
Here are some pictures Beverly sent me while I was gone.
I swear they grew up way too much while I was gone. I came home and thought I'd been gone a year with how big they had gotten. It took all I had not to run in their rooms and wake them up when I got home. But I was woken up bright and early with big hugs and lots of cuddles the next morning. Man I sure missed those kiddos!!
