Mommy Vacation/Daddy Weekend


Jen went on a well deserved trip to be beach sans kiddos. The family condo in Perdido Key was available and she took the opportunity (with Dad and grandparent’s assistance) to head out of town to get some R & R. MawMaw and PawPaw were in town for night number one, with Sissy and Gaga coming to the rescue for day number 2 (and the rest of the weekend). We split the guys up and I took P and J for the weekend while O and Ben went to NOLA.



It was really nice to spend some quality time with Parker and Jack as they rarely get time alone (well, no one gets too much one on one time, we have to work on that). Having two 2 year olds might not sound like the most exciting weekend, but I was great. I felt like I could go anywhere with just 2!! We went to the LSU Lakes in the midst of 95* temps (not terribly smart) but I was prepared with plenty of juice, water and snacks to make them happy. It has been quite some time since I went running with them in the double stroller...and pushing around 70 lbs plus the stroller is quite the task!! I made it about 2 miles which, considering the weather was pretty good. We ran some other errands: went to Target, had lunch at McAllister’s Deli, and went to visit Lod Cook while I looked for our anniversary brick (after 20 minutes, I still failed to find it). The house was much quieter without big (and little) bro around, but both P and J were much more verbal when Owen wasn’t around to speak for them. They did look around the house and say “Owie?” with a puzzled look on their face…so I know they missed him.

Jen came back relaxed and rejuvenated and I know she had a good time, but we definitely missed our Momma.
