Last year, each of the boys spent a week alone with Grandma. It was a great time for each of boys, great for Grandma and even great for the four of us remaining back at base camp. With football season starting up, it was time to schedule the boys' visits to Grandma.
Grandma arrived on Friday to spend the weekend with us and to take one of the boys home with her to start their week of one on one attention from Grandma! The biggest challenge that we had was deciding who was going to make the first trip to Grandma's house. We made our decision based on who is doing the best with staying dry at night. Once we made that decision, determining the first to go was simple.... Jared! Jared is our champ at night and earned the right to go with Grandma. This was a great reward for Jared and a great incentive for Andrew and Wes.
This morning, Jared and Grandma were ready to hit the road. Wes and Andrew helped me pack his back for the trip. When I asked Wes to get his George stuffed animal, I returned to the suitcase to find that Wes had packed all three Georges in the suitcase. Once Jared was all packed it was time to pass out hugs and kisses....

Jared says good-bye to Andrew...
Big kisses for Daddy....
Jared and Grandma wave good-bye and are ready for the road...
When we opened the van door, Jared saw his seat and said "there's only one seat." I think this is when it hit him that he was really going this alone. But, he was very happy... two thumbs up!
Drive safely Grandma, very precious cargo...
And there they go... waving and blowing kisses as they drive away...
I heard from Grandma after they arrived safely at their destination. They stopped for lunch and had a great trip. Have a lot of fun Jared and Grandma! I can't wait to see you both on Thursday and hear all about your week of fun adventures.
Take care,
