savoring

trying to squeeze in as much quality time as we can before we go. (which is next wednesday) beach, zoo, barbeque, and even camping on the lawn. but mostly just lotsa snuggles and kisses… lotsa smelling. 🙂 there is something about the way our kids smell. from when they were babies till now. i can smell their hair, their neck, their hands…and be happy.

we are working on things to keep in touch with them. the blog, of course. checked our computer cameras and made sure they are set. gonna record mommy reading some bedtime stories. gonna write them each a separate letter. gonna have one on one with each of them before we go. gonna leave them some spending cash. 🙂 grandparents are sure to take them on many shopping sprees. 🙂 i’m sure kira will step to the plate and show grandparents the way caleb likes his PB&J’s made. i’m sure cam will give caleb snuggles at night. i’m sure caleb will be fine. i’m sure he’ll be fine. i’m sure he’ll be just fine.

  3. Oh Jamie…I know it’s hard leaving them. I’ve been there. In fact, when my first born was a year old DH and I went off for a weekend. Was supposed to be back Sunday night. I couldn’t handle it and we were back on Saturday.
    It’s going to be all right though…they’ll be okay I promise…smiles

  4. Oh Jamie, you KNOW they’ll be fine…just fine. I’m sure Kira will be the big sister and take good care of her boys. You’ll be fine too :0)
    This photo of chris and kira brought tears to my eyes. How absolutely poignant.
    I love how you capture all these little moments.

  6. jamie-they will ALL be just fine. when we left for london, i remember doing the smell thing-my mom dropped us off at the airport with our kids in the car. i couldnt walk away. i sat on the edge of my car, hugging, touching, smelling each kid-while my mom kept saying “tara, go! they are going to be fine! we will have fun. go have the time of your life, etc etc”
    it was SO HARD to break away, knowing how far away we were going. but i finally did, i think jeff had to drag me. 🙂
    and i kid you not, the second we walked through the double sliding glass doors and into the airport, i felt a weight come off of me. i let myself forget about them. you have to forget they are even there to make it. 🙂
