Anticipation

Tonight the Peanut household is buzzing with anticipation. We have so much to look forward to in the coming month that we can scarce contain ourselves.

First, we are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of Grandma and Papa Peanut. They will fly in tomorrow, and spend a week here with us. Miss asks each day if they will be here "after my nap." She truly is getting antsy while waiting for them to come. She will be so excited to see them, and I am eager for them to see all of the changes in the two littles since they were last here.

In addition to the grandparental visit, Mr. and I are also looking forward to an overnight trip to Chicago this weekend. We are being flown to our former home city by Trader Joe's in order to attend their Midwest regional company party. So, we get a free flight, a free 4-star hotel room, a free rental car, a free meal, and a chance to see friends that we love and miss. We also get our first time away from the kiddos for more than a couple of hours since Master was born. I believe the technical term for my feelings would be Wooo-Hoooooooo!

As if these exciting events weren't enough, we are also looking forward to being back in Southern Cal by the end of June for Uncle M. Peanut's wedding. While there, we'll be able to celebrate Master's first birthday, and see *so many* people that we love and miss.

So much to look forward to. While we miss family members and friends, we are reminded, through anticipating our time with them, that we are so blessed to have them in our lives.
