And they're off...

.

This is Sean & me saying good-bye to our girls!

I think they were laughing

at their silly parents...

.

Here they are for that one last pose

before buckling into their car seats...

As you can see...both were more interested

in getting on the road with

their travel companions,

then getting another picture taken by Mum!

Dear Aunt 'Reen & Helen for taking these two on...

I wonder if they will remember to

say their "Pleases" & "Thank-yous"

or the all important

"May I please be excused from the table?"!!

I wonder if they will remember to

hold their Aunt's hand & to stay close at ALL times

and to, "Listen to their body so they can go Potty

(the oh so important chant we recite through out each day)

.

And as they drive out of sight...

I wonder if they will remember that

nothing in the world is more precious

nor more important than

my two little girls...

that I couldn't exist without them

and that I love them?

There isn't, I couldn't, I do.

*

So...now that they are gone

I think I'll go to bed...

the time always goes by faster when you sleep right?

I wonder if I can sleep for three days & wake up

just in time for my girls to return home?

Or...maybe just maybe ,

in the morning,

I'll wake to find myself enjoying the time apart...

Not likely but one never knows
