Tomorrow is the day - well technically Friday is the day but we leave tomorrow :) Matt and I are loading up the truck tomorrow for our cross country drive to pick Maddy up from summer camp! Driving is one of those things that sounds like a good idea until it's time to leave. I always think of it as an adventure, family bonding and a chance to see new places. Check back with me early next week to see if my positive ray of light has faded. We will get to Texas Friday morning and spend the weekend. We head back to Charlotte sometime on Monday.
Just today we had two moments when we realized how long she's been gone. 1. I was sitting in the living room and looked over to notice a HUGE cobweb. It's in a place that Maddy plays but I guess it's not a place we frequent because it's collecting dust in her absence. 2. Matt came home from the store tonight and had picked up a few things so we don't have to run out as soon as we get home Tuesday. Maddy has been gone so long the packaging on the pasta she likes has changed! He almost didn't find it in the aisle.
We are both SO excited to see her but I dread leaving on Monday. I'm hoping she smiles and waves goodbye. I'm afraid it's more likely she will scream and claw on the back window as we pull out of Nana's driveway. If you have a free moment, pray that process is as painless as possible for all involved.
I have the empty suitcase ready that Pawpaw requested. Just a few of the extra things coming home with us include - a Dora tent, lots of "jewelry", a new bubble machine, new swimsuit/cover up, new shoes, new pajamas, new clothes, etc. I'm hoping a suitcase is all we need :)
I'm looking forward to a great weekend. We have lots of Father's Day celebrating to do with Pawpaw, Grandad, Papa, Daddy (Matt), Uncle Justin and Uncle Jeremy. We also have birthdays to celebrate with Aunt Brandi and Uncle Jeremy.
Happy Father's Day to all the great dads in our lives. Have a great weekend and I'll update next week!
