spring break in arizona

i took xander and cassidy to arizona for our spring break, so i wouldn't have to entertain them by myself for a week.
smart move on my part! the only downside, one parent! so all the soothing, consoling, calming, discipling, bathing, etc.....was all mommmy!
by the end of the week i could tell they were feeling a void left by no daddy.
all in all, we had a great week! so happy we were there for katy's baptism, loved seeing ben, mom & dad! xander and cassidy had so much fun playing with their cousins and their "new" cousins. we stayed up late playing games and watching movies. everyday we were at the playground, on the trampoline or avoiding bear, the dog. we slept on an air mattress totally tangled together. saw a great friend that moved to the hot dessert. participated in passover, that was just a little jew lopsided and enjoyed much needed down time.
thank you karen, tom, chris and katy for having us! we love you beaucoup!
