Weekend Away

Both Omer and I were in our friends wedding this weekend so we got a weekend away at Briar Patch. We left Friday afternoon and returned Sunday morning. I will say it is was nice to have some time alone with Omer and getting a little break, but I missed Owen a lot. Amazing how that is.

Grandma came to stay with Owen and the pups, and from the report they had a great time until Sunday. I think it was too long for Owen without both parents. She did say that he asked about me many times throughout the day, but seemed okay with her response.

On Friday and Saturday that had a normal, fun day. I sent them to Frying Pan Farm on Saturday morning, and they had a wonderful time. First time for my mom, and she was surprised at how great the place was. They looked at all the farm animals and there was even a horse show which they stayed and watched for a long time. They also played at the playground where Owen climbed the rock wall all himself. And Grandma got to experience first hand just how quick Owen is.

On Sunday, he woke up super early, but even with that they seemed to have a pretty good time. Of course he had to take a little catnap in the car. We happened to come home right when they were pulling in so Owen got to wake up to me. He gave a huge smile and when we got inside just laid on me and kept looking up with a huge smile. I can’t explain how excited he was to see Mommy and Daddy home again. It was so very sweet.

Grandma also found Owen a bug set, which I have been looking for over a month now. It was perfect and he was very excited. He knows most of the bugs names and got to learn some new ones. I do have to tell you though there is a roach one and it sitting next to our shoe bin, I went around the bar area and saw it sitting on the floor and took a little jump back. It looked so real!

The wedding was absolutely wonderful and it was great to hang out with friends and get to relax some. It was gorgeous out there and so very much fun. I do have to share that I balled at one point. I got a little choked up when Michele danced with her dad, but broke down when Jason danced with his mom. I was managing it until Omer said “Are you thinking about when you will dance with Owen?”. My response, “I am now!!!”….along with a lot of tears. In my defense I was missing him at this point, which didn’t help. But man I am going to be a mess at his wedding.

Thanks again to Grandma, and Owen has mentioned her several times again. He even asked “Grandma read book” when I was reading one of the books to him last night. I guess she read it better than me.
