Jenny had asked me a few weeks ago if she could go back up to Washington for a while and take the boys to visit their grandma, uncles and cousins. She has just been staying home and I think was getting a little stir crazy. She wanted to go before she has to start watching the little girl she watches again in November. At first I wondered if she just wanted to get away from me, but, sadly, my bigger concern was that I couldn't afford it. We just got back from Seattle last month and with gas prices what they are, I couldn't see how I could pay for a second trip up there.
Once we decided that it wasn't going to happen, Jenny shared the news with her mother who kindly offered to pay for her expenses. We talked it over and decided that if she was going to go, she had better try to beat the weather. This was fairly late on Wednesday, then she packed up and left Thursday morning, taking the boys all the way to Yakima in one day. I was relieved when I heard they had made it safe and sound.
I miss them already. I thought it would be fun to play bachelor for a little while, but I miss coming home to Boston and Jae running to the door and hugging my legs, Jaegan looking up at me with his big blue eyes and whimpering until I pick him up, greeting Jenny with a kiss...
It's true that you never know what you got till it's gone. It's going to be a long couple of weeks...

A couple weeks! Holy cow, they would probably find me living on packets of ketchup if my wife left for that long.
Good luck! You're always welcome here if you want.
