Spent this weekend in Phoenix visiting Cheryl and the boys. We went swimming, out to lunch (Paradise Bakery ~ Fuji Apple Chicken Salad is amazing!), out to dinner (old favorite, Olive Garden), swimming, visited friends, and just enjoyed spending time together. The boys (Marshall 7, Carson 6, Charlie 4) constantly wanted to "play a game", which meant on my iPhone or iPad. We watched Disney's Robin Hood about seven times (I kid you not) and I still have that darn song in my head. Despite the 108 degree temperature, it was a fabulous weekend that went by much too quickly ~ as it always does.
Upon arriving back home safely in Sacramento, I asked Cheryl if Carson had stopped crying over my departure. She said when she tucked him, the conversation went something like this:
Carson: Why did she have to leave?
Cheryl: Because she had to go back to work.
Carson: But why?
Cheryl: Because she needs to work to earn money to pay for a place to live and food and things like that.
Carson: But why did she have to leave?
Cheryl: Well, who else is going to take care of her if she doesn't work?
Carson: Can't Jesus just take care of her?
And then a few minutes later, he emerged from his bed and bedroom asked, "Can, can I, I, I go to, to, to Sacramento for my, my birthday?"
I'm in love ... being an aunt and being so loved is an incredible blessing! I love you boys and will see you in San Diego very soon!
