Yesterday afternoon, I returned from a glorious weekend in Fredericksburg! Our church had our annual women's retreat there again. It was wonderful. We left on Friday at lunch time and returned Sunday at naptime!!! I even got a quick little nap when I got home before the girls woke up!
This year was a lot easier for Brad. I still can't believe I left Brad with a 3 month old and 21 month old BY HIMSELF!! Not because he couldn't handle it, but because that is just not very nice:) Last year, I was still nursing Morgan. So, he had to thaw out frozen milk and feed her every 3-4 hours. He had to get up with her in the middle of the night and I don't know if they ever got in the car to go anywhere!!! It was also harder for me since I had to bring along the lovely pump. I'm sure my roommies were glad I didn't pack it this year!!

Everyone's first question is, "How did Brad do?" Here's a little picture of why I wasn't nervous to leave the girls at all....
They totally have more fun when he is around...and I'm totally okay with that! He walked in the door on Friday singing, "Mommy's leaving...party time...Mommy's leaving, it's party time!" Mallory just ran around laughing and dancing. They both LOVE their daddy!!
I will be honest though. I was nervous about how Brad would dress them. That is a mommy for you...especially a mommy of girls. This didn't surprise me:
But, the shorts on Mallory and the cords on Morgan cracked me up!!!
I am so thankful to have a hubby that knows how important these weekends are for me! There were no questions asked when the retreat was being advertised. He is a champ, and I love him so!!

This week has been a reminder to me of how important Daddy's are to their children. I know he's my son, but I'm glad he's a good dad! And, he wouldn't be half that without a wonderful, Godly wife behind him.
I love the pics! So fun!
That's such a blessing you can do that and not worry. You know, I remember that post. I can't believe it's been a year since then!!! Wow! Yeah, I am really not looking forward to the pumping and the thawing of milk, either. What a headache. God meant for it to be so easy, but this working mommy is making it so difficult! We'll adapt. I'd do anything for my kiddo.
