We were so lucky to have planned it perfectly for Gaga to come out while Ben was gone for a week for OR. I needed the help, we all needed the company and the boys were thrilled that they would get to have Gaga one on one.
We did it all. Or maybe I should say, she did it all. From cooking to cleaning, to shopping and dining, to playing and building, Gaga is truly wonder woman. O did I mention teaching Colt to drink from a bottle. I was beyond grateful that we got to spend a week and half with her before we all headed back to school/work.
We snuck in some new adventures and some old ones too. We played mini golf with Bridge, went swimming at The Springs, did Jahaldi celebration in the Basque block, enjoyed some beer at Alive After Five, explored The Village and stocked up at Chicco’s and had a nice meal at Twigs! Delightful. O and even managed to FINALLY get my passport photo’s taken and apply for my passport, all with the help of having Gaga in town. I told her when she was here that if I tried to even do half of everything we did in a week it would’ve taken me two months to complete by myself. It’s amazing what an extra set of hands can do to help check everything off my “to do” list.
Gaga helped me finish my classroom this year too which was such a big undertaking and for that I am beyond thankful. The feeling I get when I am prepared, organized and ready is like an adrenaline rush for me. And to be honest with two little boys it's difficult to stay like that all the time. So being able to start the year in this fashion has been more of a gift then one realizes. Thank you mom!
Although Gaga doesn’t live close I am so grateful for when she is able to sneak away from her job and spend time out here with us. There is something about just having one on one time that makes it feel like a real vacation.
We all miss her so much and I know the boys can’t wait to see her again soon! November better come fast according to what Bridger said!
