Family Sandwich
On the eve of my departure I am feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt, sadness, heartache and anxiety among about 600 other feelings. All week long I have explained to Connor that Mommy and Daddy are going on a work trip, and that we will be flying on an airplane and then going on a big boat in the ocean, and that while we are gone Pappa, Grandma Jenny and Jiddo will be loving him and Jordyn and making sure they are safe. He has requested that we bring him back a Diego back pack, and some musical instruments. He also told us tonight to watch out for snakes. I love him! I miss them so much already.I am excited for this time away with my hubby, I am excited for the opportunity, I am excited to see my friends in California and to explore Mexico. I am soooo excited for Patrick to finally see where I grew up.
9 Days is such a long time. It breaks down to approximately(numbers are approximate and must be multiplied by two) 27 meals, 18 Twinkle Twinkle Little Star serenades, 18 renditions of Llama Llama Red Pajama, 90 "close eyes go night nights", 900 "I love yous", 54 tushie squeezes, 270 kisses, countless hours of snuggling, 9 walks around the block, 9 night time prayers, 900 "I'm Yours" ballads and a gazillion hours of fun.
I am so in love with these two little munchkins and I hope that they realize every day how very much I am going to miss them. I want them to know that each day I have with them means so much to me and how even the little things have never seemed little to me. I said "see you soon my babies" as I kissed them goodnight, and I will count down the minutes until our next "Family Sandwich"
Have Fun!
