We are finally home and happy to be here. Thanks to the 8 days away, I am a bit more patient and trying to enjoy the tantrums and whining. Nate and I had an amazing time away. It ended up being a little longer than expected and as we almost didn't get on the flight home my eyes welled up with tears because I needed my babies! We hiked through a rain forest with swinging bridges, hiked down to a secluded snorkeling cove, and laid by the pool enjoying some yummy drinks and reading our books. It was a little slice of heaven! While I was relaxing and enjoying my peaceful bliss, I couldn't help but notice the adorable children all around (yes they were all extra adorable because I was missing mine!), and think what a better mother I need to be. It is so easy when your not in the thick of it to realize all the things on which need I need to improve upon. It was easy to sit back and watch the parents getting frustrated with their little ones being silly or whiny and think- just calm down. They are just children! So I promised myself that I would say the same to myself daily. That is why a week away on vacation in Maui can be so great. I recommend it to every one! Or just some time away wherever it may be! It is good for the body, mind, soul, and your children!

I'm trying to not be extremely jealous of you. Welcome home. I'm glad you had fun.
Welcome back!!! We should have been there!!! I missed you... call me.
It all sounds so unreal! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and want to be home. It takes a dedicated mom to say that! Can't wait to hear more about the trip.
I'm glad you had a good time! I'm going to say those words to myself everyday too!
I totally agree... and have to remind myself often too (They are only children). Maui looked awesome!
