As we prepared to leave I was filled with anxiety and guilt. I know that I deserve to go, but I mean look at what I was having to leave behind:

We spent so much time the night before leaving just laying in bed and holding each other. We watched the whole new season of She Ra.

The next day, I felt totally frozen. Even looking at these pictures FILLS me with anxiety. I just can not let these kids go. I can’t wait until they are old enough to travel together. Lucas at this moment get’s my phone and takes a bunch of pictures of himself.

The time had come. Mom and Dad arrived. Mom stayed with the kids, who were totally fine and didn’t even miss us.
