much needed
Brian and I both just turned 34. His birthday was last Monday, mine is today. Maw Maw came and watched the kids for us and we dashed off alone for a weekend getaway to our nearby, favorite small town Weston, MO. We relaxed, ate A LOT, tried to sleep late, browsed the stores, went for a long drive, explored, spent an evening at O'Malley's listening to Irish music and sipping their beers, napped, hiked. There are more photos here if you're interested.
Judy, THANK YOU. So much. Really. It couldn't have been more perfect. (Let me tell you, this Maw Maw we've got? She even braved taking them for their flu shots on Saturday. Seriously, that's a good grandmother...)

Happy birthday!! Glad you guys had a good weekend. We love the kiddos, but it's nice to get away once in awhile too.

Happy Birthday! Your weekend sounds divine. I can only dream of time away, alone for a while. You seriously have a gem of a mother-in-law!

That does sound really nice. Great shots (photos, not flu...well, I guess those are good also)!

Happy birthday! Good grandma! It sounds like a wonderful weekend. I've been contemplating a kid-less weekend -- sounds great.

Belated happy birthday to a fellow scorpio sister. Sounds like a lovely retreat.
