Oma and Grandpa Paul have taken my child, and my niece and nephew, FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND.
Because they are crazy.
Earlier in the week, my mom emailed and asked my sister and I to please send some tips on what the kids needed for the weekend, i.e. routines, favorite snacks, special needs, etc. I emailed her the following:
Mom, here is what you'll need for a weekend spent with my daughter:
1. Ice packs, band-aids, something useful for splinting limbs, and possibly a suture kit.
2. A copy of our insurance card, a medical release form, and a mapped out route to the nearest urgent care facility. BECAUSE ONCE I DROP HER OFF, I'M NOT COMING BACK.
3. Plenty of hot milk, the patience of Job, and a readily available time-out chair.
I don't know if that's what she had in mind, but I've received no phone calls so far, and we're nearly seven hours in to the Weekend Adventure at Oma's. And yes, I dropped Zoey off sporting a black eye (football injury) and a nearly-healed split lip (playground incident). And yes, I was the only one who left a copy of the insurance card. Just in case.
Tomorrow Bryan and I are going to Seattle to watch the Seahawks game, stay in a hotel, enjoy some uninterrupted sleep, and celebrate being married for five years.
I love you Bryan!
(And Oma and Grandpa Paul? I REALLY love you.)

Happy Anniversary! Zoey's grandparents are really adventurous. :) We were just invited to a wedding in Jersey this July and my mom offered to take both of our boys (who will be 3 1/2 and 6mos at the time...) Yes, I will also be leaving a copy of our insurance card!
Have fun and relax :) Don't you just love grandparents?
Happy Anniversary guys!! Congrats!
And a wild and crazy time was had by all! The kids were absolutely fantastic (fantastic being Finley's new word!). Grandpa and I were happy to return Zoey, as well as her cousins, intact, semi-upright if you don't count the nap they accidently took in the car, and happy to see her Mommies and Daddies. My, oh, my, Oma and Grandpa's house is much too quiet this morning! Thanks sweetie - you made Oma very happy and grateful that she is your Oma - and Amy, blessed because you are my absolutely beautiful daughter!
Merry Christmas!
