Mr.P is taking a trip back to Holland with his dad and sister this fall. I know how excited he is to go back there (especially since he is near fluent in his Dutch now) so I totally support him going. It would be great if we all went, but the kids are just too challenging to travel with right now - not to mention the cripplingly expensive cost. Mr.P has been encouraging me to take a trip (or a few small trips) this year because he says it will make him feel less guilty about his big trip in the fall, and he said he feels like I deserve a "break."
As it turns out, one of my good friends was having a baby shower in Southern California this month. She is the friend responsible for Mr.P and I meeting (M2's middle name is after her as well). It was important to me to be there for her shower, plus I have another good friend and my cousin who are also in Southern California that I could see. As an added bonus, my aunt was in town for the month visiting my cousin and helping her out with her kids, so I got to see her too. I flew down Saturday evening and returned Tuesday morning. It went by quickly - but I think it was just the right amount of time. I did really miss my family. One thing about becoming a mom - I feel like my kids are such an extension of myself. I crave time away from them, yet when I am away from them I miss them terribly.
