time away

So we took our first non-kid vacation. we went to Key West with some other adult friends while mam-maw stayed at our house with the girls. we are so very grateful that we could get away and not have to constantly worry about the girls. of course after about 24 hours away i was ready to come back to them. we stayed all weekend my pull was not enough to turn around and go back home but boy did i miss them and my heart would sink after talking to them. we were told they had a great time and only minimally asked about us so they were not absorbed by the fact we were gone. it will be a long time before we get to go kid-free again. i feel that they both grew up so much they looked different, older, bigger, ugh!!!!! Thanks again Theresa we really appreciated you coming in and hope you got to not only babysit but at least enjoy your vacation a little bit.
