Work it.

I got home last night from a five day meeting in Dallas.  It took all of my will power not to wake their sleeping little bodies.  Selfish?  Yes.  So I settled for a snuggle with Sullivan, half hoping that he would just sense my presence and wake up out of excitement.  No such luck, but it was so sweet to see them this morning.
It was a good trip.  It felt good to get away, use the "work" part of my brain and contribute to our family financially.  They were long days and there wasn't much down time, but I always love the way I feel when I work.  Grateful, accomplished, reset.  Sometimes you have to step away to be fully reminded of what you have.  And what I have is two great kiddos and one amazing husband who can, and will, take over all of my responsibilities without batting an eye.  Who also, by the way, rocks at it.  Every picture and text I received showed them happy, bathed, dressed in cute clothes, out and about doing fun things and attending all of their activities.  He even had the house clean and laundry done when I got home.  Why am I the one staying home again?

Although traveling while seven months pregnant isn't the most comfortable, I have to say, it was really nice taking one of my babies with me.  After two days of working and no mention of my pregnancy, someone finally said, 'you are pregnant right?' Ha.

I had to leave before my Dad's visit ended but here they are heading to Willow Springs for breakfast. It has become our greasy spoon tradition when Dad is in town.

Sending kisses to Sela baby, who apparently would hug and kiss the phone whenever I would send a picture of myself.
