Arwyn both impressed and saddened Josh this week. Josh was telling Arwyn that it was going to snow this weekend when Grandma gets here, and she quickly gave him a hug with her bottom lip out and said, "Daddy leaving." He was so surprised that she remembered that, and it made him cry and realize it will be tough to be gone so much more often this season. Then Grandma and MumMum arrived, and we left for the weekend. Three whole days alone without our kids for the first time ever since Leia was born! Talk about a luxury. We got back, but then I had to work the next three days, so I didn't get to see Arwyn too much (one day not at all). And then Daddy left for his trip, and it was so sad because Arwyn cried out, "Daddy, don't leave me!" Well, apparently all this was too much for little Arwyn because every time I left the house after that, when I would get home (even after only a couple hours), Arwyn would cry out, "Mommy, you came back!", as if she wasn't ever expecting to see me again. Poor little thing must be totally traumatized. But we've been having some good Mommy time, so besides still missing Dad, I think she's feeling better about the situation with me. It was good for her to figure out that yes, Mom will always come back even if she's gone for awhile. We had a fun play day at the pool with Grandma and MumMum, and Arwyn got the courage to go down the big slide again. She always watches Leia doing it and having fun, but she remembers it being scary. I think it still was scary because one time was enough again.
Another Josh quote about how Leia impressed him this week. After her swim lesson this week (Leia graduated from a Guppy Grad to a Seahorse), Josh asked her how she was able to swim so far on her own. Without any hesitation she said, "It's because of my super strength and might!" "What?! Might?" "Yeah Dad, it means strength." Leia also had a fun time playing at the pool with her Grandma and MumMum. And she too was so excited when we came back after our weekend away. She was nonstop talking about her weekend, and all the exciting things they did.
View from our fancy hotel room at Cavallo Point at our first EVER getaway without kids!!
Stunning views every way you look.
Josh thought this was a very cool lighting job on this vase in our room...2 equal shadows!
Fun little excursion with Sarah and Josh #2 to the Ferry Building Farmers Market for some delicious and authentic street food.
So weird to be in civilization again!
More beautiful views.
So amazing to actually be on an adventure with my husband!
And so great to be reunited with my long lost Sarah for a couple days!
Have you ever seen such an amazing hat? It's a real live snork!
Gorgeous backdrop for the wedding ceremony, and we got so lucky that the rain just barely stayed away all weekend.
The beautiful bride.
Jonathan and Ally, the bride and groom.
Josh dubbed Ben, "The Ring Bear!" And little Maddy did not want to wear her dress or walk down the aisle.
Check out the handsome husband of mine! Take away the sweats and we clean up pretty well!

It wouldn't be a proper wedding without a Hora Chair Dance!
Josh was so fired up that they played a "Key-tar" in this awesome band! They were called "Pop Rocks," and they sure rocked.
Official photo documentation...we actually got Josh #2 out on the dance floor!
And once he was dancing, he really let it go!
Wedding couple group hug!
Late night in the "Red Room"!
Little Red Riding Hood Beauty.
Grandma trampoline selfie!
Such a cutie.
Password = Arwyn
We are teaching the girls at a young age about the fast women skiers they could aspire to be like. Arwyn's new barbie looks like Lindsay Vonn, so that's her new idol!
It was thanks to Grandma's never ending bag of new clothes tricks that we finally got Arwyn to wear this cute vest before she grew out of it.
So excited to see her Daddy!
Big telephone bear hug for Daddy!
A Transue trip wouldn't be complete without a meal at our favorite Jax Diner.
