Back to Reality

Good thing Brandon has long arms to take pictures of us together!

After some rest and relaxation, we are back to the real world with the holidays rapidly approaching!  The laundry is sorted (not all put away) and the cupboards are no longer bare! Brandon and I try to take a trip each year, just the two of us.  It gives us a chance to recharge our batteries and remember what it is like to have adult conversation without being interrupted or having to spell words to talk code! We both read the new Steve Jobs book and I also read the new Grisham book.  We soaked up the sun and just dialed back. The kids enjoyed special time with both sets of grandparents.  Grant's eyes lit up when he saw me walk through the door.  Elizabeth started crying, "I don't want to leave, I want to play with play-doh!" Once she realized we weren't taking her home right away I think she was glad to see us.  We brought her back a snow globe.  And don't judge us, but we didn't get anything for Grant, because we didn't see anything that we thought he would really enjoy.  Plus, he puts everything in his mouth and I don't trust their paint to not have lead in it.  So we brought him back extra hugs and kisses!
