Any Advice?

Well Brett and I have planned our 5 Year Anniversary get away for this May to Cancun, Mexico. And boy, are we SOOOOOO excited! Although, in the midst of all this excitement, we realized we will have to leave our 17 month old daughter with trusted family members, and we started to panic. Have you ever left a baby/child to go away on vacation for a week? Please give me some advice and encouraging words because at the moment when I think about leaving her for a whole week, tears start to fill my eyes. It's going to be hard, and I know I have 3 more months to plan and prepare, but nothing is going to prepare me emotionally. And I really want to enjoy this vacation with my husband, but I can't help but think I will miss her terribly and think of her all the time. Can anyone help me?

Super Bowl Party

This was the 90 inch projector screen we watched the Super Bowl on last night. One word, "AMAZING"! It's actually bigger than it looks in the picture. We got together with our small group from church to watch the Super Bowl. Little did we know that when it was over, we were leaving with 3-4 inches of fresh, wet, snow on the ground, and it took us an hour to get home when it should have taken 20 minutes. What a night!

Rocking Chair from Grandpa & Grandma Lilly

Makenna got this Rocking Chair for Christmas from Gpa and Gma Lilly. Brett put it together this weekend, and Makenna loves it. She likes to sit with her baby doll and rock.

A Day of Play

We spent the afternoon at Coco Key Water Resort in Chicago yesterday. It was an indoor Water Park and we had so much fun! There was something for every age group, including tube slides and dark tunnels slides. Brett and I were like kids in a candy store. My dad Lee, came up to help watch Makenna. She had a blast too!
