Thad & Mama

TAfter lots of deliberation, I decided to stay home from Powell this year... I've gone 13 years in a row-- it was a tough decision.  Only 5 weeks out & Thad is pretty attached to me ( plus swum terrified of water if he can't touch). 

On the night before the trip, Jonas asked me if I would wake up early so he could give me a hug. Oh that'll get the tears rolling. Sweetheart.

Early Fri , I got up & helped see my 3 boys off. When T woke up a few hrs later, he asked within minutes where Dadda, Keekee & Jonas were. When I told him they were in Lake a Powell, he immediately had crocodile tears :(

He has asked several times a day since, but nothing was as heartbreaking as the first time.

We've had some wonderful times bonding just the two of us-walks, 2 different parks, feeding ducks , library, reading books, Ogden Nature Center, playing w cousins in SL, playing w friends, shopping w Nans. I love him dearly & can't believe how big he's getting.
