Bye Bye - Love You!

I love the end of the day when it's bedtime for my son.  We read a couple of our favorite books, say our prayers, sing a few songs, exchange kisses and cuddle before I put him down.  Tonight was a very special night that I must remember, because for the first time he said "Bye Bye - Love You!" as I laid him down into his crib. 

I was so so shocked!  Normally when I put him down, he just rolls over, hugs his stuffed animal, and goes to sleep.  Tonight, while I was giving him his last three kisses (don't know why, but I always have to give him 3), he kissed me back, said "Bye-Bye" and when I said, "I love you" he responded with a very clear "Love you!" 

Oh my gosh, my heart melted and there were tears in my eyes.  The joys of motherhood!!! 

We're Going to London!

So excited - we just booked our trip to London - hooray!!! 

I can't remember exactly when, but more than 5 years ago we purchased time share with Marriott.  Originally we were just going to take advantage of the free night's stay at a Ritz Carlton hotel and say "no thank you" at the presentation... until they explained how the "points" program worked and how we could use these points for airfare and hotel stays.  SWEET!!! 

We only paid $509.10 (which was $169.70 per person) to the airline for taxes and other misc. airline fees for round-trip airfare for 3 and 7-nights at a Marriott hotel in the heart of London.  Again, SWEET!!!! 

Can't wait - whoo hooooooo!!!!!!!  (insert image of us dancing here!!!!)
