Tom and I have come to enjoy our breaks as a couple. Breaks help
us return refreshed, happy parents. They take the edge out of our parent voice
and allow us to spend time remembering how we started as a couple. When you’re
married to your best friend it matters. Who else is going to go into Nordstrom’s
rack and try on skinny jeans for the sole purpose of making his wife laugh? I
shouldn’t include this last detail, but he actually bought them.
So, last Thursday, we headed out to spend time with good
friends in Chicago. Once again, we laughed until our ribs hurt, visited an art
museum, drank good coffee, ate good cupcakes, and took a minute to breathe
before the phone starts ringing off the hook for spring cooling season. Meanwhile,
the kids spent time with Grandpa and Grandma. For the many things we’ve experienced
with Sidney, the one thing we have not experienced is trepidation away from Mom
and Dad with grandpa and grandma. We feel incredibly lucky.
