I think I&#8217;ve figured some things out (through writing and reading &#8212; always a good way to figure things out in my opinion) and had some really amazing moments with the boys while Andrew was out of town. The weather was gorgeous, nice and cool and juuuuuust right! We ran into friends at the Botanical Gardens not once but twice, and stayed longer than we ever have before. We&#8217;ve been missing Kim and her boys (and always think of them when we are at the gardens as this is where we met!) and awaiting their return from New Zealand any day now.\u00a0<a title=\"DSC_0027\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3866\/14681546616_b4375406c8_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0027\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3866\/14681546616_b4375406c8_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0027\" width=\"680\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><a title=\"DSC_0011\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3854\/14701366771_20b440b918_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0011\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3854\/14701366771_20b440b918_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0011\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0052\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3842\/14517893328_edd1e03f02_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0052\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3842\/14517893328_edd1e03f02_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0052\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" \/><\/a><a title=\"DSC_0048\" href=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2926\/14517892579_0f815e5d97_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0048\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2926\/14517892579_0f815e5d97_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0048\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" \/><\/a><a title=\"DSC_0051\" href=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2921\/14517891678_864a8bbf07_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0051\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2921\/14517891678_864a8bbf07_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0051\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" \/><\/a><a title=\"DSC_0096\" href=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5587\/14673567245_294ef8b70a_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0096\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5587\/14673567245_294ef8b70a_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0096\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We were so glad to have Andrew back on Sunday, though I did a poor job of relaying that to him after having a crappy night of sleep courtesy of Emil-the-3am-Sleep-Terminator (why why why why why???). After a good nap and an even better talk, we enjoyed the afternoon and evening. It&#8217;s sometimes hard to get back into the duel-parenting groove when you might not be on the same page (more lax rules when papa is out of town sometimes does not bode well for papa laying down the law when he comes back- oops!). Ha, ha, all is well and you know, sometimes the best way to move past it is to just crack jokes until everything else falls away and you realize you&#8217;re in it together and always will be. I sure do love that man.\u00a0<a title=\"DSC_0013\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3897\/14693442483_3d26ab84d7_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0013\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3897\/14693442483_3d26ab84d7_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0013\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/a>P.s. &#8211; This may or may not have been the only bath he took this entire week&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>How was your weekend?
