It was really unfortunate that we didn't get to spend the little time we had in Iowa doing fun things, instead of being holed up in the house in our jammies. Brad's mom, sister, and I didn't get our pedicures or get to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant - which is always a tradition any time we're up there. Yeah, yeah, I know what y'all are thinking... "Really, you go to Iowa to have Mexican food?!" I swear, the place is really good. No joke.
Even with the sicknesses, Brad and I got to spend some time at the cemetery, which is really important to us. Nash's grave looked beautiful. My mother-in-law takes such good care of it. It was so sweet to watch Tate as he stared at the little marker. He told Nash he loved him and blew him lots of kisses each time we went. It's a very bittersweet thing to witness as a mother.
We're so thankful for a safe trip. Both the boys were troopers, despite being sick and away from home. So I'm glad to be back... I think my blood has officially turned "Texan." I can't stand being cold!!! And to all those mommies up north, I am in awe at what you go through everyday to get your kids out of the house when the weather is so freakin' cold. God bless you!!!
Hope all your Christmases were merry.
Love to y'all,
Tracy
