Ok - I am getting in trouble about not posting again. But I have a good excuse because Kip and I were in Jamaica, man! The trip was great (with a few quirks) but overall, it was wonderful. I am having my pictures processed today at a one hour photo. So I hope to have some online tomorrow! They should be interesting. Our Thanksgiving was great. Laura, Rob and Pat Price were in town for a week and we had a great Thanksgiving on Wednesday with Kip's family. Dinner was wonderful as always and the company was great as always. Thursday, we went to my grandma's house and had quite a day. My mom has 3 sisters that each have about 100 kids each. Ok - it ranges from 3-6 kids each. But it seems like a hundred. It was so neat to have everyone together again after many years. I would say that it has been about 5-7 years since all of her family was in once place for a holiday. I am the oldest grandchild (at 26 as of yesterday) and then the youngest is Mackenzie's age (4). So we have a nice range of kids running around. I feel terrible about it but I dont know if I could list everyone's names if I tried! It was fun to reconnect with my aunts. Now that I have kids, I feel like I can connect with them on a different level and it was great to enjoy their company! I hope that we can keep in close contact now! Then, Thursday night Kip and I walked out of my grandparent's house with no children in tote, no diaper bags in tote, no worries in tote! While we were driving home in silence, I told Kip I would probably run to the store when we got home and he had a frantic look for a second...then we realized all that we took for granted before we had kids!
When there are no kids around - you can just run to the store, go get gas, pop into Walmart, etc, etc, etc. But I will tell you what - the trip to Walmart was pretty boring. I really don't know what I am going to do one day when my kids would just rather stay at home than go everywhere with me!
Anyhow - we had a great trip to Jamaica. We missed our babies so much, but we truly believe that one of the best gifts you can give your children is a great marriage, and we believe that having some time alone really helps us to enrich our marriage! And we did just that - we held hands, we kissed just for the heck of it, it was great! When I have pictures tomorrow, you will hear all of the events of Jamaica - it was quite a trip!
