Well, boys, we are almost off! Tomorrow, we leave for Disneyworld. We will get to see Gramma DVD and Auntie Val. We will get to see all the Disney friends. Elijah knows we are going on a trip and he knows we are going to a beach but no specifics! I am sure it will be exhausting, I am sure I will be crabby but I am sure it will be MEMORABLE!
I have something deep to share with you. I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer but I have to tell you as it has been on my mind lately. Mostly, in my life, I am always looking for something. Next trip, next job, next event. I still do but to a smaller degree. Last night, I was just looking at you guys as you fell asleep and realized that I am good. Elijah rolled over and put his arm on my shoulder and signed. Joey snuggled up to me and had a big sleepy smile. Looking at you two, I know that I have now experienced everything I need to experience. Sure, I want to go more places, see you grow up, see some grandbabies but really, it is all gravy right now. Just having you two and sharing my life with you gives me a sense of fullness and completeness that everything else is just a cherry on top.
Joey is really starting to talk a bit clearer. He walked up to Gramma's door and said "Open the door." He was trying to say his prayers last night and was mimicking Elijah's list of people to bless. "Tyler", "Mark", "Padi" and "Luke" came out so clear. I can't wait to see you at Disney with your favorite Mickey!!
Elijah was in such a good mood last night. He made us laugh, he was listening and he wasn't being ornery. It was just a feel good night! I can't wait to hear his reaction when we pull up to the airport!!
I have made a vow to WRITE THINGS DOWN this trip. Last time, I didn't and it has been super hard to remember all the details. So, i am going to make notes nightly!!
Love you both so much!
