Mom's weekend away

This past weekend was the first time that I’ve left Diego for more than a few hours and I went away for 2 nights. I went on a women’s retreat with our church and had a really wonderful time. I roomed with 3 other girlfriends who have young children, one of them also pregnant so we served as a great support system for each other. I was able to disconnect and really enjoy my time away. Ricardo and Diego did great and had a fun boy’s weekend. They went out to dinner together on Friday night and again on Saturday for lunch. Diego pulled a little stunt on Ricardo. Diego woke up at 6:00am on Saturday which was a bit early so Ricardo brought him back to bed to try to get him to fall asleep. Well, in his failed attempt to get Diego back asleep, Ricardo fell asleep himself. He was abruptly awoken by a glass of water crashing off the bedside table onto the floor. Diego had crawled out of the bed (which he had never been able to do before) and was exploring the bedroom. Ricardo later discovered the drawer of my bedside table had been rummaged through as well so Diego had definitely been busy. Luckily he’s not terribly mischievous so he didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to venture out of the bedroom and get into even more trouble.
It was priceless to see the smile on his face when he saw me at church on Sunday morning – it was so nice to be together as a family again!
I don’t have any new pictures to post, but promise to have some up soon…
