Romantic Getaway...Notsomuch

I love this picture and think it is so sweet...except for we are in front of a tank.
Micah ran and stood here and smiled. He apparently thought this was an excellent photo op.

This is such a neat pic. Our cousin Clinton is actually training to drive a tank so we took these to show him.

Micah only wanted Daddy to

Look at that face!

Jumping in with those short harper legs!There was a lot of old tanks and planes at the park where we stayed. Micah, being all boy that he is found them to be the coolest thing ever!

So we packed up Valentine's Day and headed to Cordele to visit with Mick's family and just get away before baseball gets really cranked up. Valentines day used to be all warm and fuzzy and romantic...but now it is just another day with our boy. We had fun but it was anything but romantic with our wild man along. While the sad news from family made us sad we did have a good time being together just the three of us. On the way down, in our new car (that is so big and awesome for traveling), I mentioned to Mick that the three of us had never been anywhere by ourselves. I thought that was crazy...we just both have close families so we always go with them or our friends. But it was so nice to drive at our own pace, stop when we needed to go pee and not stop when Micah was asleep. We enjoyed being with each other and visiting Aunt Judy and Uncle Pat. They happen to have a big motorcycle so Micah could hardly stand himself. We stay at a place that has an indoor pool and Micah loved the water. This is the first time he has been able to swim and go under since his tubes are gone. We didn't know how he would react but he jumped right in. Again, and again. You can see by the pictures he has no fear. This summer should be fun, but challenging especially at the lake. Reality hit hard as we drove home early yesterday for Mick to be at practice. We are preparing now for our week of funerals. But we are so thankful for the time that we spent just us three.
