A Mini 'Stay'cation!

So one day 2 weeks ago, Nick called me and said 'Hey are you ok with me taking next week off?' Duh! Of course! So we had a fun time doing all kinds of things in the Dallas area. If you ever want to visit Dallas, there are so many things you can do! Some of which we are still discovering! We went to places like:

The Dallas World Aquarium!

Both the kiddos absolutely loved it there!

Then another day we ventured out to Firewheel for dinner!

She loves kisses from Daddy!

We also took Gavin and Emory to their very first Rangers Game! 

And in between all those fun things, we had lots of play time with Daddy! 

Especially Wii competitions! hee hee

We had so much fun last week just hanging out with Daddy! It was a much needed time for all of us! Yay for a Daddy vacation! (not away from him but with him!)

*One thing that God ministered to me while taking this time off was that taking time to replenish is a good and GOD thing to do! Even Jesus' days were filled with counseling, encouraging, loving on children, protecting the innocent, feeding the hungry etc.... etc...! All those things are also a part of my life! So no guilt could be found on my mind last week! We took it off and enjoyed every minute of it! I was able to put aside all the thoughts/concerns of those I have been 'entrusted' with. After all, if they can't survive without me then something ain't right!!!!
