Sigh...I am very, very, very (just keep adding the word "very" here about a dozen times) jealous - haha! It's so awesome you and your husband got to get a way for a few days. I know it was probably hard to leave the kids but wow, I can't even imagine how wonderful it must have been in other ways. Good to see you back, hope your adjustment back to the day to day is going ok! Hey – I was wondering what happened to you!

I love/hate you for this awesome trip. Glad you got away. The yawning is hilarious. Puerto Rico never looked so good to me. Can your parents watch my kids? We missed you!
