This past weekend Zane and I were able to escape 90 miles away to Graham, Texas to celebrate our anniversary. Many, many thank yous to Annette and Marcus for keeping the kids. It's pretty nice when I'm talking to my sisters (I'm blessed that both of them do this, as does my Mom) and they say "hey, I'm keeping your kids next weekend". It makes getting away much easier. I was trying to gently "break the news" to Garrett that Mommy and Daddy were going away for a few days. I didn't want him to get upset that we were ditching him, or that he wouldn't see us for a few days. He said "how many days are you going?" I said "just 2. you get 2 whole nights with Nette and Bit Bit". (with his grumpy/mean face) He said "no! I want to stay with Nettie for at least 5 days". See how difficult it is to leave our children? :) Annette and I met in Irving, where we did the switcheroo of kids and cars. I drove back to Mansfield ...
