A day at a time

I just noticed that it has almost been 10 days since my last post.. what is wrong with me?! I am usually better at keeping up the blog. As I look at the last ten days I wonder what has kept me so busy as to not be posting.. Last Weekend Audrey went to Lake Charles to give mama and daddy a much needed break - we still had Will around, but the load was certainly lightened. Charles and I had lots of time together.. which I didn't even realize was lacking until the "wedge" was gone.

I am referring to Audrey as the wedge b/c it was eye opening how she can be a wedge that separates us from one another. We often have to divide and "conquer" between the two kids or just between tasks. One of us is tending to or playing with her while the other is getting stuff done. We tend to forget how much we enjoy each other's company. Don't get me wrong, we missed her dearly and couldn't wait for her to get home.. I was literally watching the clock for her arrival... but Charles and I certainly enjoyed some time together as a couple. I made the most of only having one child by getting errands run, going to lay out by the pool, we went to dinner, walked around Town Center, I made curtains for the guest room, cleaned and organized and enjoyed a "picked up" house all weekend long.

My mother in law and sister in law brought Audrey back Monday afternoon and since I had help with the baby- now I wanted to spend some quality time with Audrey. We went to the new pool in Telfair - which is about the most kid friendly pool I have ever seen! Then Tuesday morning Audrey had her weekly gymnastics class and then I took her ice skating. SO FUN! I'd like to go back without her next time.. it was a lot of work holding her up and trying to skate at the same time! When she went down for a nap I took off to get my hair done and then ran around doing a little shopping with Angela. Wednesday morning we had some friends come and meet us at the pool since I could leave Will behind with MIL and SIL it was a blast to get to just enjoy the pool with Audrey and really get to play.

We've been blowing and going so much I have to say I am looking forward to today and just not doing anything at all. Even though Audrey has been back for several days, I still have the feeling that I miss her. strange. It has been such a fun week and I couldn't have done these things with her if Will was around - I really appreciate all the help I got... It makes such a difference.
