Max goes to Abilene

Last Friday, we loaded Max and his bags in the car
then waved goodbye as he headed to Abilene
with Mini and Zu for a few days!

While it was so good for Clay and I to have a little break
and a chance to spend some together time, I missed that little man like crazy!
There were times I thought my heart would burst I missed him so much,
but I remembered that he was in very loving and capable hands
and that this time away from each other was a good thing.

It was also so sweet to get periodic updates
and see what Max was up to. :)

 
 
 
 
 
 

They had some serious fun, that's for sure!

Clay and I drove in on Tuesday night 
and had a sweet reunion with our little man
(even if he didn't recognize me - though he sure knew his Daddy!).
We spent the Fourth swimming, playing Ticket to Ride Asia, 
and enjoying Max's newfound piano skills. ;)


Thank you, Mini and Zu and Aunt Julie,
for loving on our little man for a few days.
What an incredible gift to us all!

I am sure your heart was hurting as much as Mini's was bursting with happiness! I know they had such a good time and she went on and on about what a good little guy he is!!! No surprise, but always nice for Moms and Dads to hear! Good job!!! I am sure she is looking forward to their next play-date!

That's so fun! We are leaving town soon as well, and Jake is staying with my parents. Looking forward to it, but I know I'll miss him. Yay for husband/wife time!
