We have to be some of the luckiest people. We were able to fly home to visit family for 18 days! It was a perfect way to end the summer for us. Nolan couldn't get enough of his grandparents and we had a blast just being with family.
We stayed with Jake's family for the first part and were pampered by getting taken out to dinner, lunch, even breakfast. I don't think I have ever eaten so much in my life. We were able to get our restaurant fixes. We went to Wingers twice, Javier's twice, and had some Costa Vida as well. It all tasted so delicious.
After we had our Rabe time we headed off to the Russell's for a great time. Jake and I stayed there for about three days and then we headed off to Lake Powell while my parents watched Nolan. This was the first time we have ever left Nolan. we were gone for 4 days without him. It was kind of hard for me but I kept busy in Lake Powell and tried not to think about it. We called to see how he was doing everyday. I loved being able to hear his little voice over the phone get all excited. He would start to say "mama, dada" over and over. It was so cute.
After we got back from Lake Powell we spent the rest of the time with the Russell's. We stayed up almost every night just watching the Olympics. They were so exciting. The last night that we were there my parents got alot of the Russell side together. We had a BBQ at my parents and hung out with Aunts and Uncles and Grandparents. It was so much fun.
It all had to come to an end. We headed back home on Sunday and Jake started school on Monday. I can't believe that Jake is already into his second year of medical school. This year is going to be a hard one. Alot will happen for him. He will be taking some of his hardest classes. We will be welcoming a new baby boy in December. Then Jake will take his step 1 of the Boards in June. I think we are going to be incredibly busy. I'm sad that we won't get to fly home to see the family until next summer. It will be a long time and the baby will already be 6 months old! For now we will just enjoy each moment that we get to spend with Jake.
