This past weekend, Jared and I left the kids with my parents and had a few days 'away.' It was our first night to spend away from the boys since James was born in March. We stayed in the beautiful Houstonian hotel, and Jared planned many, many romantic surprises for our time there. It was beyond perfect. Just what we needed. I know that I will treasure the memory of it forever.
The only part of it I want to share is this. At some point on Saturday, we were driving along and the hubs says something like, "doesn't this all just remind you of that scene in Hook where the kids realize Robin Williams really IS Peter Pan?" I hadn't really thought of it that way, but once I did, I could only agree that it was a perfect analogy.
Sometimes, in the humdrum of everyday life, we can lose sight of the magic. Isn't it fun to find it again - to see that it's right there under the surface...buried under bills and babies and life...BUT THERE just the same?
As much as I hope and pray that we can remember the magic through the mundane, I am pretty sure we'll continue to hit obstacles that will make it impossible. And when those come along, I'm pulling out my mental rolodex and flipping straight to this...

It is always great to get away without the kids to remember that there are the two of you! I loved going to Florida the other week with Corey it was just what we needed especially before Baby #4 comes along...sad that we don't have a name yet for her. Hope your doing great :)
