Mother Hen

I think I have a new record for the longest time with out a blog post! It's been a busy weekend, and I just haven't felt up to blogging, although I've missed it!!

This weekend Mr. Stannix and I dropped Camilla off at the acreage to visit Gramma and Grampa.  Mr. Stannix set up the whole weekend, booked the baby sitter (Gramma and Grampa), and planned the events.  He was so great and made it very stress free.  On Saturday we spent the day at the water park at West Ed.  It was weird being without the kiddo!  We enjoyed ourselves though and made sure we went on all the slides we wanted to.  We relaxed the rest of the afternoon, then I went to the Relief Society broadcast.  After the broadcast, Mr. Stannix and I hit up a movie.  We took advantage of not having the kiddo with us for the weekend and enjoyed all of the things we usually can't do when she's around.  We missed her though! I actually cried Saturday night.... She wasn't even apart from us the whole weekend, just one night really. 

Sunday was so different without Camilla.  Mike didn't have to watch her while I played the Organ, and we were both able to enjoy the rest of our meetings.  I looked around at all the babies in Relief Society and started missing my own!  We were glad for the free time, but we were so glad to have her back!! My parents brought her back up Sunday night.  It sounded like she had a great weekend.  No crying or missing us at all!! She raked grass with Grampa, played in the garden with Gramma and had a tea party with the barbies. She's such a big, independent little girl. 

It felt so good going to bed Sunday night knowing that all my little chickens were under one roof.  I love having all of us back together.  I'm glad we had a chance to spend some time together this weekend just the two of us, but man did I miss my little girl.  Thanks to Gramma and Grampa for watching her! She had so much fun.  She was so giddy when she got home on Sunday.  I've never seen her so crazy and excited.  She was actually shrieking in excitement.  I don't know how often we'll "farm her out" for the weekend though, I kind of like us all being together!
