Less then a week!!

So we are now less then a week until the kids and I fly off to Alberta to visit my family. On one side of things I am very excited to see my sister and her kids, I miss them so much and I am excited for them to meet Irelynn. I am very sad to not have Todd join us. When we booked the tickets Todd was working so he was not able to come but now that he is not he will just be home. It will be the longest we have ever been apart in the whole time we have been together. I know we are going to have a great time and the kids will do fine. I just have those normal worries like, will the baby sleep ok away from her bed. Will the kids do well on the flights. Just normal worries!

We are enjoying the warm weather here and spending lots of time together as a family before we go. I am excited for Todd that he is going to get a week to catch up on some much needed sleep. I have a few easy tasks for him to do while he is gone and it sounds like a few people might try to put him to work. Though I hope that people will remember just how dedicated and hands on he is as a Dad and know he needs this rest. Todd gets up and brings the baby to me every night when she needs to feed, when she gets up early he gets up with her and Ky too and lets me sleep in. Never complains he just does what he can to be a helpful dad.

Our week apart will involve lots of missing each other but will be really great when we come home. I imagine the first day or two Todd will hear the kids and go to check on them only to remember we are on holiday. We are putting some money on the pay as you go phone so I can send texts to his email and taking the laptop so I can send pics daily. He also plans to call every night to say goodnight to the kids and read them a story (tho I don't think he will get a chance to since their cousins will want to lol).

Well that was a rambling post, its late lol. But I hope to post again tomorrow about our trip to the museum today with my mother inlaw and post some pics! I also need to post a video of Irelynn rolling, she's too cute and she even gets her knee's up under her to try and move forward. As soon as she puts the hands and knee's up at the same time she will be off. Where does time go?!?!
