A First

Memorial Day weekend, Juliet and I were separated for the very first time. It really was last minute too. I would think something this monumental would be planned WAY in advance, but I called mom on Friday and she jokingly said, "Why don't you bring her to us?" It sounded completely reasonable to me. It was around noon and Juliet was packed and we were on the road to meet Deda and Granddaddy by 5:00 the same day! I expected her to do very well. She is CRAZY about Grandaddy and of course, the feeling is mutual. Juliet pretty much ignores me and Justin (and everyone else) when Granddaddy is around. That's why I wasn't too worried about her. Justin and I were feeling foot loose and fancy free! We went to the movies, out to eat and cleaned up the house, ready to put it on the market on Tuesday! Juliet had a great time! She didn't call for us once and if she saw a picture of me, she would say "Mama" and go on about her business. Juliet is now weaned due to this event, which is good. She's getting a mouth full of teeth! I was anxious to see her by Sunday night. Monday I couldn't wait until time to leave. We all met half way again and she was happy to see us, but she would still hang with Granddaddy!

 "bye-bye"

Yay! And now that you know she can do it, you'll want to do this more often! LOL

Congrats on putting your house on the market. We MUST catch up!
