Seperate Ways

I had the amazing privilege to get away for a few days this week at a retreat for women who live overseas. It was a really fun time to meet other women, be encouraged, have time to myself and even be pampered.  The people who put on the retreat bring volunteers who do massages, physical therapy, pedicures and other things.  I was very thankful to Chris for staying home with all three kids...Lucy actually took the bottle well all three days.  I was worried i might have to come home early if she didn't.  Poor Chris...Tuesday (I was gone Sunday to Wed) he started feeling badly.  I came home for a couple hours and then returned, and then he started throwing up.  Then our neighbor Jason was helping Chris out by watching the boys during dinner and Austin threw up all over their couch.  Needless to say, they both win husband/dad awards for letting me (and Angie) be away and dealing with all of that while I was gone.  Chris didn't even tell me that Austin was sick for fear I would come home, but let me finish out the last day!  It was a treat and no one has thrown up since I have been home...still hoping B and L will not get sick ( and me too).
So I got home Wednesday and as I write this on Thursday, Chris is on a plane for a quick trip to the U.S.  So we literally were passing each other in the night...but I am really thankful to start Chris' trip with a full tank.
