We have these amazing friends that have a boat & these amazing parents that babysit so we can get away for the day.

You know, to relax, to celebrate our upcoming anniversary, & to hug the neck of a friend who is changing the world three embryos at a time.  & to get silly in the water, float on rafts, get a wee bit sunburned, watch the World Cup from a restaurant that you park your boat at, & still remain indecisive if I can rock the movie-star sunglasses.

I’m thinking not.  But they’re still kinda fun.  & with gorgeous weather, homemade salsa, & good friends, it really didn’t matter.

oh, & this guy by my side.  I just love the snot out of him.

We’re a little sunburned & a lot tired.  & we missed our baby.  & apparently he’s standing & WALKING in his walker now.  Not just scooting.  This new development occurred while we were away, so remind me to never leave his side again or else I’ll come home one day & find him married to one of Jenny’s triplets & be a grandma, okay?
