Great Anticipation

I am so looking forward to this weekend. We have been invited to go to the beach with 5 other couples from church. This will be the first excursion we have had since baby #2. I actually can’t believe we have waited this long. We are just going to go out to eat, the girls are going to the spa, the guys are going to watch baskeball, play cards, we are going to eat lot of adult size snacks and most of all relax. I mean total heaven. However, it takes a lot of coordination to get someone to watch both kids. We have great help with both sets of our parents being in town. My parents are taking the kids this weekend. I can see my notes to them now… (Thankfully they both know what they are getting themselves into)

Mom and Dad,
Here are the instructions for this weekend…
Garrett eats every 2-3 hours, feed baby food in between bottle feedings
Marschall eats all the time (make sure you have an endless supply of snacks if you go out)
Try to take Marschall to the bathroom in between him throwing a tantrum of not wanting to go. If he doesn’t go, he will make a mess. He of course can’t clean it up, or I should say there is a bigger mess if he tries to clean it up.
By the way, Garrett still doesn’t sleep through the night, he will stir probably twice and you will need to feed him once and by the way he is teething terribly.
Sometimes Marschall will just appear at your face in the middle of the night just lead him back to bed he should go back to sleep until 6:15 am.
Ya’ll have fun and tell the boys we can’t wait to not be woken in the middle of the night and that mommy and daddy are so excited we both can sleep past 6:30 for the first time in about a year!
I think that is it~ we hope to see you a week from Sunday (just kidding)


Whew, again, with great anticipation we wait for Friday at 9:00am

you forgot to mention to Dad that he needs to make sure he is good and energized....because marsch will be attached to him for the entire 3 days :)

Meredith and Pete, we don't know how to break this to you...your dad has won a long weekend trip for two in Walnut Cove. We just can't pass it up. We'd take the boys if we possibly could, but, you know, it's just for two. Hope you understand. I mean, how could we even think of passing up gopher digging Sat. morning and the catfish fry on Sat. night? I'm looking at the calendar and it looks like you can plan a beach weekend the first part of May (2010). JK :) We are looking forward to this weekend, and have a big time planned. Your dad says, "This weekend will make us more Biblical...you know, praying without ceasing!" CWTF (Can't Wait Til Friday) Love, mom
