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.
