Weekend alone with Dad (plus some help!)

Adam and I have worked out a pretty nice system whereby we're each able take a weekend or two on our own each year . . . I head to Vegas with Joanna every May and Adam chose late March to visit Kathryn & Mikey B. in Angel Fire, NM. This was actually the first time Adam had taken his weekend pass and the first time Dad would be left on his own with boys . . . and by "on his own," I, of course mean with lots of assistance from Gramma & Papa and Weezie. :)

The boys and I actually had a fantastic time and managed to survive with no physical injuries to the boys and no emotional injuries to Dad. Some cute pics below . . .


The boys found their way into my office and discovered the pen/pencil holder . . . was actually pretty sweet, one of the few times that they happily shared an activity without any sense of possessiveness . . .



















I swear I only looked away for a moment, only to discover that the stroller had become the preferred climbing apparatus . . .

















We went for a walk on an amazing spring day and I looked down at their legs in the stroller and it hit me just how big they're getting . . . I remember when we first started walking in the double stroller and their little feet barely stretched over the orange in the seat . . .

















Lastly, a shot from a fun family dinner at Lucky's . . . we were all happy to get an unexpected visit from Papa, who joined us and was amazed that the boys loved their dinner of broccoli, okra and squash casserole . . .















We all love it more when Pai is home, but it was definitely a fun weekend for the three of us.
