A busy month

More and more these days it seems our weekends are eaten up by a trip here, a trip there, and all sorts of activities that keep us from being able to just "BE". Here's a short synopsis of our month.

The first weekend in April Sr & Jr went on a father/son trip to New Orleans. We rented them a vehicle and they took the 10 hour drive down on Thursday. They stayed right in the French Quarter and ate their way through New Orleans. We're raising such a foodie!!! They ate Gumbo, and Etouffee and just generally had a good time. Sunday they made the long trip home. They really had a great time.

Then back into the weekly routine....

The second weekend in April was Easter weekend. I drove Jr to spend the 3 day weekend with his mother in Greensboro. Luckily, my parents are only 1 1/2 hours from there, so I was able to go spend the weekend with them. On Easter, I left for Greensboro. Then my Land Rover pooped out on me. So what started out as a 6 hour trip turned into about 14 hours. Jr & I sat in the Rover for about 2 hours waiting for my Dad & my uncle to come rescue us. We kept ourselves occupied by bouncing babies on our laps and laughing at those goofy kids. Once we got back on the road, it was a constant worry about when it would overheat again. We're pretty sure it is the Thermostat. We got home at about 2 am and Sr re-heated Easter dinner for us (Lamb & Potato soup - DELISH). Overall, I enjoyed spending time with Jr. No video games, no chores, just us chatting it up about everything under the sun.

The third weekend in April has just passed and we were actually able to spend it at home. Sr had to work, though; catching up on all the work he's got pouring in. We went out for Sushi on Friday night. The guys went to the movies Saturday night and Sunday evening I spent on the couch with my honey watching a movie. Once again, back to the weekly routine.

This week is going to be the busiest of the month.

On Wednesday I leave, babies in tow, to head to Virginia for yet another court proceeding. I'll drive to my parents home and spend the night. Then back on the road for the remainder of the trip on Thursday. Court is at 3:00 pm on Friday. Depending on the outcome will depend on when I head back. If the babies stay in Virginia, then I'll drive all the way back on Saturday. If they stay with us then I'll drive to my parents on Saturday morning, then the rest of the trip on Sunday.

Its been a very stressful time for us, as I'm sure you can imagine. Not knowing whether the babies are staying here or not has been hard on all of us. You try not to get too emotionally attached but then they smile at you and the walls you tried to build around your heart just melt away. Its been a great joy to have them in our home for whatever time they stay here. They keep me on my toes and they keep us looking forward. Sr's gotten as attached as I have, I think... even though he won't admit it. Its hard not to. Jr seems to be showing signs of attachment as well. He's started picking them up and walking around with them. He's a good role model. I'm very proud of the young man he's becoming.

Well, so there's the synopsis of our month. Hoping next month is a lot less busy but just as full of love! - KEEP ON MOVING!
