Two weekends ago Pete and I went to Galena, Illinois for a little getaway. I don't leave the kids very often and when I do, I usually cry at some point. Well, I was proud of myself the morning we were packing up to go home when I realized I hadn't cried the whole time. I know, it was only 2 nights so you may be thinking I'm crazy. But this home and these people are my world so going away usually leads to guilt. Guilt because I may not be available when they need me, because I am not there to protect them, and because I'm expecting someone else to care for them. But this time was different. That's probably because they're getting older and capable of helping and because I was totally confident in the young couple and their baby who stayed with them. So away we went and it was a refreshing time in a beautiful place. Here are a handful of pictures from the weekend.
