Well, it was Isabelle’s wedding last Saturday and we decided to go without the kids… making it our first evening out together since Xavier was born more then 4 years ago…

My mom was the one that stayed with them and though I was a bit worried about it it turned out well… The boys had no problem with us leaving and gave us hugs and kisses and warm goodbyes and that was it… no crying, no whining, no asking us to go with us… it made it a lot easier to leave…

The wedding was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome and the flowergirls were just the cutest in their dresses made by their grandmother with matching doll dresses too…

The weather was a bit iffy but stayed clear until it was time to head indoors and eat and then it started to pour… we were outside in a large tent and there was a bit of a leak at someplaces but it didn’t do anything to the mood at all… After eating a great 5 course meal the tables were moved and it was dancing time… I tried, I really did… but my legs wouldn’t leave the ground… I was really tired…

So, we sat for a while and watched and then decided to head back home… I felt a bit bad leaving so early but it was still raining pretty hard, I was still awake and alert and I had some unknown country roads to head down.. so it was the best decision…

We got home and my mom was laying on the Sofa watching a movie and the kids were sleeping well… It really felt good to have a few hours with Simon alone but I missed the kids like crazy…
