Well, after almost 9 months, Mommy and Daddy finally took their first long weekend without Ms. Norah. You'd think that almost 9 months of sleep deprivation, diaper changing, crying/screaming patrol, spit-up cleaning, baby-proofing, teething, and...well....life changing events would lend itself to Mommy and Daddy being more ready than ever to 'get the hell outta Dodge' so-to-speak but, as all things have been since Norah-Belle was born, it wasn't that easy. The maximum time that D & J had been away from Norah since she was born was only about 14 hours, so this was a bit of a challenge.
After a few tears and a ton of big hugs and kisses, Mommy and Daddy left Norah in the care of Grandma and Poppi while they took their other 'fur child', Angus, down to the cabin in NC for a few days of R&R and to close the place up for the Winter.
All in all, it was a TON of fun, and we're glad that we did it. We played cards, went fly-fishing, hiking, poked around the shops in some quaint towns, sat by a roaring fire, ate WONDERFUL food, took in the beautiful Fall Foliage and just generally loved spending time with one another and, of course, Angus.
Our beautiful little Boxer-Boy had the best time by far. He got to be off leash and traipse around the woods, sleep on the couch, take hikes and have Mom and Dad all to himself for over 48 hours! Even though Angus is THE BEST 'big brother' that we could ask for, we sometimes forget that he needs his 'alone time w/ Mommy & Daddy' too, so we're glad that he got to have that.
Grandma and Poppi took EXCELLENT care of our little baby and she, too, had a blast. It's safe to say that we all got a welcome holiday!
