Kaeli and Paige are staying the whole week with their grampa and grammy in North Carolina. I met my dad halfway (about 3 hrs) between his house and my house. The girls are incredibly excited because my brother's family will also be there. I think it's been 4 yrs since the girls got to spend time with their cousins. This is also a big milestone because they have NEVER been away from us for more than a day or two at most. I even found myself tearing up as I walked back to my car without them. Of course, I didn't let them see my tears. They were all smiles and weren't the least bit upset. I know they'll have a great time.
Steve and I didn't waste any time taking advantage of having only 2 kids. We already had a babysitter lined up for tonight. Normally, I have the babysitter come over after Ryan and AJ go to bed. But, since it was just the two of them we decided to have her come earlier. I was so proud of Ryan!! About an hour before Kailyn came over I told him what would happen. His only response was "how long you take?" When it was time for us to leave Ryan just waved and went back to playing with Kailyn. Even Kailyn was surprised because he normally screams and tantrums when we leave. Steve and I had a nice dinner all alone.
It should be an interesting week. I'm guessing it'll be a lot quieter!
