Missing people

I just finished talking to my son, Andrew, Jr. He's been at Grama and Grampa's since Sunday afternoon. Grama works at one of the area Day Care centers and paid for Andrew to spend this week at the Day Care. He's staring to miss Jen and me.

This is the logest he's ever been away from us since he was born. He gets to spend the odd week-end with Grama and Grampa every so often, but not until now the multi-over-night at G&G's. I may go see him on Saturday and even bing him home a day earlier than we had planned.

Jen and I are used to the sound of Andrew trotting around the house and raising all kinds of hell. We love him AT ALL COST. He's priority. ABOVE ALL.

When he's not at home, ashas been the case this week, he's missed. GRERATLY,

Absence may make the heart grow fonder. It'll be a lot of hugs when we see him again.

Vacations

Jen, Andrew and I have been on vacation for the last week. Andrew has been on vacation since the 27th of June. (School has ended for the year)

Here's my Observation on vacations. They take forever to get here, or so it seems, and they fly by when they do get here. In the last week we haave done quite a bit. Went to a base-ball game -Rochester Red Wings vs. Pawtuket Red Sox. Wings won in extra innings. Went to a local play-ground where Andrew had a grand time. While we were there we were witness to an automobile accodent. All parties involved were alive and mostly injury free. After we were done having fun at the play ground we went for one of our drives. Instead of heading mostly East, we headed West along State Route 31. A drive we have not yet made. We celbrated our 11 year wdding anniversary on the 4th of July as it was the easiest way to also involve family.

So all in all, we packed a lot in to the last week. It came to us slowly and flew by. Jen gets to work this afternoon then gets the next two days off. She's back to her normal working scedual. I go back on Monday. Andrew gets to spend the rest of the Summer at home with Jen and a week at my parent's at he end of July. He'll have a week at my Mom's work -a local child care center. That'll be fun for him, a break for us. Jen and I will miss Andrew and it'll be a fun week as I'll be getting up and leaving for work without taking Andrew to his normal daycare -closed for the Summer.

I enjoyed my week off and Jen did as well. It just went by too quickly.

More to come.
