A Week With The Grandparents

The kids spent this past week with Grandma Paula and Grandpa Larry. They both had the week off to babysit some of the other grandkids and offered to watch ours as well. Eric and I jumped at the opportunity to have a week to catch up on our rest, housework, and time together. Although I was really sad to leave them, it was nice to have a week to ourselves. Tuesday night we went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. The food was awesome and it was nice to not have to worry about how the meal would go! Wednesday night we met my parents at Ted Montana's in the Power and Light District and then saw "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Midland Theater. It was a really great performance and now we can say we saw a Broadway play, even if it was off-Broadway. The rest of the week was spent catching up on sleep and chores. I finally got Kaiden's closet cleaned out...something I was hoping to get done before he was born but didn't have time to. I think the best part was sleeping and getting to spend some quiet, quality time with Eric. We're getting ready to pack up and head to St. Joe to get the kids back and I can't wait to put my arms around them!!!! Not having them for a week made me appreciate even more how blessed we are to have them in our lives.
