Mountain Mama

Some of you may remember THIS post and then THIS post. Well, we are packing up and heading there tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited! Although, packing for four people is extremely tiring and I've about decided I need a U-Haul...for a 2 1/2 day trip. Unfortunately, Don has a business meeting in Atlanta and won't be able to make it this year, but my parents and my sister, Andrea, are driving up with me. We'll actually be staying in a house that my sister, Shari, and her husband, FBIL, have rented for the week so it's a mini family reunion (wish Kim and Paul could be there too). She just sent me this picture of the back porch where she's been reading and relaxing.I tell you what, it's a good thing my sisters and my mom have agreed to watch the kids 24/7 so that I can fully utilize this porch. Isn't that right ladies? Max is SO excited and I'm so excited too because we will be able to spend some good quality time together like hiking to the little cabin in the woods we went to last year...so fun.

By the way, this was the trip where I was sitting on the cold bathroom floor of our cabin at 6 in the morning freaking out because I had just taken a pregnancy test and it was positive! Don and Max were still asleep and I just sat in there on the bathroom floor and relished the moment. And now a year later, two babies...how cool is that.

So, wish me luck on my first trip away with the babies and you may want to say a prayer for the rest of my family. Nothing like spending your vacation with TWO four month olds...YIKES...sorry guys!
