Give Momma a Break!

Bodhi and Jude, you both went to GiGi's and Gi-Pa Poncho's for the day.  Last night Bodhi you woke Mommy and Daddy up at 12:30 a.m. and stayed awake until nearly 2:00 a.m.  So, Mommy was relieved to have a day to herself and also to work on Jude's baby book.   Bodhi you were so excited when Mommy told you where you would be spending the day.  Jude you always smile when Mommy talks to you, so you were happy too.  Momma is certain Jude that all you  hear when Mommy talks is  blah blah blah blah blah, and Mommy must say in a funny tone because you just belly laugh and smile! Mommy packed her old red "Going to Grandma's" suitcase from when she was little for you Bodhi, and Jude.  Bodhi, you insisted on trying to carry it to the car.  You always try to carry things that are too heavy for you... it's the Grills' women curse :)  GiGi and Poncho reported that Jude, you slept for an hour and a half, and that you Bodhi slept for about an hour, and that the two of you were constipated.   GiGi and Poncho made you a huge healthy lunch, as usual, and they think it will make you go to the bathroom Bodhi... hopefully not at 12:30 a.m. again tonight :)  Jude you had ate cereal for breakfast and baby food (peas) for lunch.  Also Jude, Mommy did get quite a bit done on your baby book, with some help from Steph Wray and Jennifer Sosbe Goad, two of Mommy's HS friends as well as Carrie Besser Talbott, Mommy's friend from DCS :)  So, Mommy is chalking today up as a success, as well as a wonderful break from the daily grind that is our life.  Mommy did miss you both very much though!  Mommy loves a break, but spends most of it thinking about you both!   Oh and, GiGi was left in charge of pictures of you two today... and well, she only found time to take one, ha!  Mommy took the rest, both before and after your day with GiGi and Poncho.
