This was one of those weekends. Calvin went to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Breyer for the weekend, and Nate and I went to Appleton, WI to visit our friends Lisa and Eric. And, as an added and unexpected bonus, Nate's brother Kris and his girlfriend Alex came up from Madison to spend the day/night with all of us.
SO. MUCH. FUN.
Boating, sleeping, eating, drinking, zero responsibility for anyone but ourselves...bliss.
We spent all of Saturday looking at this:
And doing this:
Sometimes it's nice to just be Abby, and not Mom, for a little while. To have the time to really talk with and listen to my friends. To sit — blessed sitting! — for an extended period of time. I enjoyed our weekend, and the freedom that came with it, so much.
But by the time Sunday rolled around I couldn't wait to get home to Calvin, diaper changes, and yet another evening devoted to Barnyard Dance.
It's nice to just be Abby...but I like being Mom best.

Glad you had so much fun being free and getting sun! It did sound wonderful! :) At least you get to read a cool Sandra Boyton book every night...somehow Nattie prefers the dollar store flip up book call "ELF" (great grandma gift...obviously)...it is AWFUL! :) Love you!
Can I request that you have an "ahhhhhhh" type weekend with us in Atlanta? Purdy please? Looks like a great time!!
