Thankfully, we were able to get away this last weekend. Rich and I both spoke for a homeschool kick-off meeting up north. I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful it’s been the last couple of weeks to get to speak twice alongside my hubby. I don’t think he expected to like it as much as he did! Afterwards we traipsed up further north to spend some time with my aunt and uncle as well as make a trip to Lowell Observatory {where the planet PLUTO was discovered}. Greta fell asleep on my back and that cuddle time was heavenly.

LOVE the photos of your precious family my friend! Enjoy your time away with your hubby…and, don’t worry about the children…I am sure they will be well cared for! You asked if we ever go away just the two of us…we have…over the last 18 years for a total of about five or six nights spread out a night here or there. Crazy, isn’t it? A night or two has always been *just right* for me. One day they will be all grown and gone and then we will be able to do longer trips…perhaps. 🙂
Blessings to you!

My kids are super-excited to go spend a week with their grandparents. Aside from the almost 2 year old, I don’t think the bigger boys will miss us much. Greta and I are quite attached… Rich and I are looking forward to the time together and getting better equipped to help serve other families.

Loved your fine collage of photos– besides showing your family involved in life, you created a pleasing, texture-filled, colorful work of art by cropping and arranging your photos in a way that stands on its own as a second statement!
I would love to buy your book and buy many copies to give away but I’ve never done ebooks myself nor would I know how to give e-copies to other! Please tell me a solution for hard core hard copy people like me!

Thanks for the encouragement on the photos. It was fun to put together and reminisce about our experiences up there!
The ebook comes in pdf format and can be read on a computer, kindle, nook, ipad or any other kind of device. Apparently, it can also be read on a smart phone too. I don’t have any experience with that though. The entire book is 50 pages long and you could also print it off and spiral bind it as well… You would simply order extra copies so you would have the “right” to email those copies to the person you would want to gift the book too.
I am hoping to start work on getting things figured out for a hard-copy of the book as well. I’m much more of a hard-copy kind of gal too although I’m starting to come around on the ebooks now that we have a kindle.

Thanks so much for linking to my review Heather! I am so glad launch week went well for you and glad I could help!
I have yet to leave my 1 year old at night, she is quite the momma’s girl since she is still nursing! Enjoy the time away with your husband and safe travels!
Blessings,
Heather

Ours too! Ironically, the only other time that we got away as a couple was when our oldest was 20 months old and we spent two nights up in Sedona. Aside from hiking, we just loved strolling through here. It was fun to take the kids.
