Marriage WeekendPosted by Kara on March 1st, 2010
Nana volunteered to sacrifice her sanity to watch Jim-Jim and three of his cousins over the weekend while Jim and I escaped to a marriage conference in Louisiana. I discovered that a night away from the boy with Jim in a hotel room does just as much for a marriage as hearing someone repeat from their perch on a stage that we need to be less selfish and listen more. Though, we do. But secluding ourselves in a hotel room is a lot easier and way more fun than working on our characters.
We would be lying if we said we didn’t miss the boy. We made sure we got back to Nana’s in time for Jim and the boy to catch up over a glass of milk before Jim-Jim went down for the night.
It was extremely neat to see a bond begin to develop between Jim-Jim and Andrew. A bond I am excited to see strengthen as the boys grow up, and Jim-Jim is less into stealing toys and throwing tantrums and more into toilet papering houses and stealing Mommy and Daddy’s car to do donuts in the Dairy Queen parking lot. You know, stuff boys can really bond over.

Just as long as they are stealing your cars.
Love it. Thanks for the pics!
