So I have to back-track a little bit. The week before your birthday, your daddy swept me away to Cancun. Oma and Opa deemed it important that we have a get away and Gammy and Pop pop were kind enough to play with you all week. It was SO hard leaving you. Right before leaving for the airport, I rocked you and hummed "I Am a Child of God" (as we always do, before you go down.) I teared up and could barely finish singing, I was so sad. I knew you would be happy and safe with Gammy and Pop pop, but I'd never been away from you for more than 3 hours. I feel like you somehow understood that we were leaving. I told you several times, your daddy gave you a blessing and we prayed with you that everything would go well. Things went well, very well. You were in heaven, spending so much time with your grandparents. You slept like an angel, were happy as ever and didn't seem to miss us at all. I think we missed you much more than you us. It was so nice for your daddy and I to be together and date all week. Thank you for being so amazing, so we could do it. And THANK YOU Bob and Carol, Mom and Dad for making it possible for us. Here are a few snapshots:
Daddy scuba diving
yet again
I wanted to swim around a look at everything
but also didn't want to get lost :)
Cheesy, I know. But we didn't know at the
time they were taking the picture.
Me, underwater. I felt weightless. This is
how I imagine it would feel to be in space.
We went scuba diving when we were in Mexico
and it was absolutely amazing. I had no idea
how beautiful it is under water. It feels like
a completely different world. I loved it.
These are our nice friends that were kind
enough to try to teach us Spanish and even
get us a tortilla maker and corn flour.
Crazy faces during dinner.
Crazy faces after dinner.
Your darling, sun-burned Daddy.
Me, after your daddy dared me
to jump in the pool, fully dressed.
On the way to the pool- we hung out there all day!
It is so amazingly green in Mexico- wow!
I absolutely adore this man.
I was an incredible week.
Now back to reality, a beautiful reality.
love,
mommy

Wow! You lucky duckies! I am so relieved to hear that Norah did so well- it gives me hope that when I leave Chase for a week next month he will survive it. We miss you!
I have loved looking at these pictures! It looks like you lived the dream for a week, but I know the dream you live everyday is even more wonderful :) And way to jump in the pool with all your clothes on! You crazy girl :) I'm so glad you had the week to yourselves. I'm sure it was marvelous!
glad it went so well and that you are home safe and sound. I miss you and need to catch up. lets make a skype date sometime this week. What say ye? Text me when you are free because I am usually always free!! hab dich lieb
Gorgeous couple. You guys look like honeymooners! Can't wait to go scuba diving with you and take more cheesey shots.
Yes, you are an incredible week! And one gorgeous drink of water, esp. in that turquoise dress. Did you even have a baby?
Did you dive in Cozumel? I almost died there, it was so surreal to dive along that natural reef.
And Bri, you're handsome yourself. Well-matched, I say!
Amazing! I am so jealous! Can't wait to see you!!!
Hold on a minute! Why didn't we talk about this when we chatted on the phone! What in the world! How fun!
