No, no, I got it Mom!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"P1030215-1\"

I'll decide what to do<\/p><\/div>\n

Ryan and Juliet are amazing. They are so much more adaptable to change than I give them credit for. As parents we want to protect our babies and keep them safe and secure. In my mind, safety and security goes hand in hand with routine and what we’re used to. \u00c2\u00a0For babies though, I think it’s more just having mommy and daddy there that provides that sense of safety and security.<\/p>\n

Last Friday, June 25th, we went on our first family vacation to Burlington, VT. I have been strategically\u00c2\u00a0planning in my head how to get Ryan\u00c2\u00a0and Juliet through this vacation happy, fed, and rested. But most important, I wanted this to be a vacation for them that they would love. And what do they love almost<\/em> as much as their mommy and daddy? \u00c2\u00a0Their grandparents. \u00c2\u00a0 So we invited them along too! \u00c2\u00a0Of course, this was a major treat for Dan and I too as there were so many of us to help love and hold the babies. \u00c2\u00a0For me especially, I had all my favorite people to talk with and laugh with.<\/p>\n

Juliet was so happy, as there was a never ending supply of people to hold her. \u00c2\u00a0Ryan was so happy, as there were so many new things to see,\u00c2\u00a0explore, touch, and discover. \u00c2\u00a0We stuffed ourselves full with food and wine. \u00c2\u00a0We went to the Magic Hat Brewery for free beer and a free tour. \u00c2\u00a0We visited the animals at the Shelburne Farm and marveled\u00c2\u00a0at its peace, beauty, and sereneness. \u00c2\u00a0The free range chickens were especially a delight to see. \u00c2\u00a0We had dinner by the lake, dinner in a fancy restaurant, and dinner with\u00c2\u00a0Mexican\u00c2\u00a0fare and margaritas. \u00c2\u00a0At each dinner, Ryan and Juliet watched intently at all the activity swirling around them. \u00c2\u00a0Many people commented on how beautiful and wonderful they were.<\/p>\n

And indeed, they ate their dinner (with only one throw-up), they took their naps (well, mostly), and they slept at night (except when I talked in my sleep and woke them up).<\/p>\n

Amazing.<\/p>\n
