Mommy and Daughters Trip

Today we began a bit of a last minute, yet long overdue, trip to visit Nana and Bop Bop (my parents). It's our first trip without Daddy since Caylee's been born. Now that we have the second car, these little trips can happen a few times a year. It's good for the girls to see their grandparents, fun for me to get away and even better for Ben to finally have some peace and quiet. All us girls can cause any guy a headache.

Last night Ben had to park the car pretty far away, so the first challenge of the day was to get both girls and all our stuff out to the car in one load. Thanks to my "double BOB" and my creative mind, it happened. No walking out to the car and back a few times with the girls in tow just to load the car.

Next challenge was the drive. Both girls did awesome! We just listened to music and talked. It's so much fun he conversations I can have with Courtney now. She understands so much. We must have listened to her 2 favorite songs 20 times each ("Our God" and "How he loves"). I just love to hear her sing those songs. She belts them out like no other. She loves to sing, it's adorable. Besides, mass traffic we made it up no problem. Courtney asked to take a nap once we got here and I had some time to visit with my parents and relax. It's so nice not to spend my waking minutes cleaning.

Once Coco woke, we went to visit my sister. Courtney had been asking to go to "Goldie's house" and I just couldn't turn her down. The girls are cute together. Courtney just looks up to Goldie (5) so much. We hung out there for a bit and just headed back to my parents. Relaxing and easy. But we miss our daddy. There is an empty spot in the bed next to me, I never sleep well by myself. I worry too much about him.

Eyes are shutting! Night!
