I'm spending my second mothers' day away from my children. In fact, I'm writing this post on May 5; I'm about to join up with two of my girlfriends and we're hoping on a plane to Paris (well, technically Germany and then France). There we'll meet up with another friend who's already there. Just us girls, just having an awesome time!
The kiddos are hanging out with Blake and various wonderful "mothers" in the meantime. Blake, then our new nanny Kirsty, then my mom, then blake, then blake's parents, then blake, then Kirsty again, and then I'm back.
Thanks a million to my mom and Heidi: a) for making my trip possible, and b) for loving our kids ALL THE TIME. The kids, Blake, and I are SO blessed to have both of you take such active roles in Kaylee and Ethan's lives. It is awesome, and wonderful, and hilarious to have them come home from a day with one of you having learned new things and repeating your phrases. Just yesterday, Ethan told me that I was going to the "apple tower" due to the brief Parisian education my mom gave them last thursday.
Thanks mom, and thanks Heidi. Our kids are going to grow up to be better people because they have not just a mom, but also two amazing grandmas who love them so, so much.
