Great Weekend!

Last weekend was my first night, make that 2 nights, away from Gracie. Aaron had Daddy Duty and Ang and I were off to the coast for a relaxing weekend. It was AMAZING! We lounged on the couch and in the hot tub, always with wine or coffee and book in hand. We ate things like hummus and crackers for lunch, accompanied by our favorite bottle of red....or white...we don't like to discriminate. We are Equal Opportunity wine lovers!

Mmmm, snack time.

The "BEFORE" shot

The "AFTER" shot. Mind you this was over the entire weekend. I know, those beers just kind of sneaked up on us.

It was so great to get away and be able to sleep in, read, and lounge. We decided to make this an annual trip. I also discovered that hitting the hottub first thing in the morning with a cup of good coffee and a book is a great way to start your day.

While I missed Grace, I was so glad I did it. I knew she was having the time of her life with daddy. Now, they are the best of friends and she calls for him from her crib when she wakes up in the morning. It's so cute! When I got home and she spotted me walking thru the door, she shouted "MaMa!!" and just about threw herself off Aaron's lap to come to me. It totally warmed my heart and gave me a huge smile. She was so happy and it made me so happy!
