Oh, what a day! We started off sad to end our trip and ended up so glad to be home. It was a week of perfection. We needed to get away, re-group, rest, and spend some time just being a couple again. This quaint town of Akumal was so safe, so low key and just what we needed. Every day was calm, everything was peaceful.






Jason and I are not good relaxers. We have literally been running since we got married. We thought that finishing resisdency would bring us relaxation, but instead we moved, had a baby, moved my mom in and started work on the basement. For the first time, in WAY TOO LONG, we let it all go, left the kiddos with their very kind grandparents, and we just relaxed.
Coming home was bitter sweet. The kids were very brave while we were gone and got good reports, but Elijah and Autumn seemed to let down their bravery as soon as they saw us. Elijah just seemed sad and wanted to be held, and little Autumn just starred into my eyes and pressed her forehead into mine. I hadn't felt sad the whole week, but these two broke my heart a bit. I couldn't prepare them very well, and I think that, especially Autumn, must have been confused in her little mind. So tonight, I am so happy to be home, happy to be doing the routine and very, very happy to be mom again.
