Just the boys (Chapter one)


"WHAT!?!? You are leaving me alone with Dad, JUST DAD????"


Yes, I am. And he did GREAT! Better than great.




I had my annual staff conference in San Diego this week. I left at 4 am on Thursday and drove down south while Doug took on all the responsibilities of watching Zachary for 40 straight hours!


Yes, it was hard for me to be far away, especially when I looked at my watch at 5pm (Zach's usual pick up time), but I knew he was in good hands. The boys had a good bonding session and left me nothing to worry about, not even high flying rounds of "Airplane".


On Friday night I couldn't get home fast enough to see my boys. But I am glad they were able to have some time together. It was literally a race to get to daycare before the 6:30 deadline. I just barely beat Doug there. And while I thought Zach would be thrilled to see me, I don't think he realized it had been all that long. But I was thrilled! Though I still have no idea what Doug was feeding him while I was gone, HOW DID HE ALL OF A SUDDEN GET TO BE SO BIG?


I can now check "night away from baby" off my list. Check! (though I don't think I will do it often, life is better with him!)
