Mini Getaway

Wasn't it Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" that said, "I'm taking a vacation from my problems!" :)  Mike and I got a little chance to do that this weekend. We were thrilled to go to Napa to celebrate with our friend Suzy at her beautiful wedding to Jonas Greenberg on Saturday. It was so good to see some of our very best friends from college and just visit and catch up. It was the first time we have left Kelsey overnight and the first time we've left Brooklyn since she was diagnosed. I was excited that we were getting a night away, but also nervous about leaving. My mom and dad and aunt and uncle all came and stayed at the house to take care of the kids, so the kid/adult ratio was 1/1! We knew the kids were in good hands so we didn't have to worry about them while we were away. We were also so thankful that Brooklyn didn't get a fever or need to go to the hospital while we were gone. We totally missed the kids and were so happy to come home, but it was like stepping back into reality which was a little tough after having a day away. We are also asking for more prayers for our family going into this next week as Mike's mom, Diane, was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer on Friday. It feels like cancer is taking over everywhere we turn, but we know that God is in control. Especially during this Easter season, we are so incredibly thankful for God's amazing love for us, and although things may seem down at times, we know that it is just a temporary season that we are going through and that He is our support and comfort and strength every step of the way.
