We're at the end of our second week of work since our week long cruise vacation - just Mama and Daddy, of course - and it has taken some getting used to! I think we were just beginning to enjoy relaxing on the top pool deck or snorkeling in the clear waters of the Caribbean, or just the general lack of responsibilities for a week. We sailed on the Enchantment of the Seas with Royal Caribbean to Key West, Cozumel and Belize, and we enjoyed almost everything the 11 floored ship had to offer. Being served at every turn and enjoying time as a couple was much needed and a great time away from the responsibilities of parenthood.

What did the girls do without their Mama and Daddy for a whole week, you ask? Took advantage of their grandparents, of course! Grama and Papa practiced their toddler roping the first half of the week, and Gigi and Grandy were able to use those air traffic controller ear muffs we gave them for Christmas the second half of the week. All kidding aside, except for a few days of fever for Abigail and missing a day of school, the week was a success on the homefront. Thanks to the grandparents for the trips to the playground(s) and parks, going to get library books, fixing many toddler-related meals, a trip to Chick-fil-a, and opening our kids imaginations through so many other fun activities. Sydney and Abigail also enjoyed going to the airport and surprising us at our arrival (but not half as much as we enjoyed it!)

We had a great week just focusing on ourselves and doing what we wanted to when we wanted to, but are so glad to be back into the swing of things with our two sweet girls!
