Time away

Jacob's mom has been here to visit this past week and we have loved having her. And while we have been grateful to have her visit and all she has done for us, Jacob and I are especially thankful because earlier this week, he and I were able to get away for two nights. And while that may not seem like much to some people, it sure was to us and we were so grateful. We had not been away for a very long time and we really needed it.

It was two days of complete relaxation and rest. We just talked and slept and laughed and slept and ate food and slept. Did I mention we caught up on some much needed sleep? It has been a pretty intense few months for us and we were so thankful for the time to get some extra rest. And just be together and talk as much as we wanted without any interruptions.

And of course the kids loved their time with their Nana. They went to the park and played games and just had a grand time. I think they would have been thrilled to give us two, or ten, more days away.

Thank you Nancy! We can't tell you how thankful we are for you spending
this time with us. And thank you for being willing to tend our kids while
we slept and talked to our heart's content. We are so grateful for you!
