Erik and I went AWOL today! We went Away WithOut Little ones. There is a group at our church designed to minister to parents of young children. This mostly involves providing opportunities for couples to spend time together without the presence of their kids. The AWOL retreat is just one example. We met with other couples at a posh hotel and were treated to good food, laughter and opportunities to have one-on-one time with our spouses. It's amazing what one day away can do to revitalize and refresh. We feel blessed to have had this time before Sprout's birth to reconnect. Every marriage needs it. When was the last time you and your spouse took time away?
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Oma and Luke spent the day together. She worked him hard in the backyard pulling weeds and digging in the dirt. He passed out from exhaustion shortly after his bath. Good work, Oma! Luke couldn't ask for a better dirt buddy. As for me, I was beyond blessed to arrive home to a peacefully sleeping child, a fantastically clean house, and a better groomed backyard. How much do we pay her? Whatever it is, double it! :-)
