Away We Go!

I don’t know why, but the girls seem to do their best walking when their vision is obstructed.  Their balance and stride is at its most confident when they have something over their eyes.   

I guess they’re taking this “walking by faith” thing seriously.  Maybe they’re trying to teach me a spiritual lesson…that if I’m unable to see the obstacles or uneven ground before me, I would be forced to rely more on the Lord for guidance.

Or maybe the girls are just plain silly.

Or perhaps they’re extolling the virtues of seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.

Speaking of rose-colored glasses, my vision is going to be positively rosy starting tomorrow.  Jim is whisking me away on a belated anniversary getaway and my in-laws have generously agreed to watch the kids for us.  The trip destination is a surprise to me, so by tomorrow, I could be strolling on a beach or sight-seeing at a park or dining at a faraway fine restaurant (which is most likely to be a Chili’s, since Jim has the uncanny ability to locate the nearest Chili’s in any given state).  But wherever we go, you can rest assured that we will be spending quality time with each other.  You can also rest assured that I will definitely dedicate some of that quality time to sleeping in.  I can’t wait! 

I’ve scheduled a couple of blog posts to publish in my absence, so my mom won’t go into granddaughter withdrawals while I’m gone (You’re welcome, Mom!). 

I’ll be back soon…hopefully rested, and maybe even suntanned.  Although I guess I could just as likely be windchilled or frostbitten, given Jim’s love of arctic weather…stay tuned!
