Leah is going to D.C.! :(

Casey is going to D.C. next week for work, and as he did with Jacqueline in October 2008, he is taking Leah with him to spend a week with our friends who live out there. I really pushed him to leave Saturday so he would have Saturday night and Sunday to help her with the adjustment, as she has never really met the family she will be staying with. The last time the girls and I saw them was Christmas 2008, when Leah was a little over a month old. This is the longest I have ever gone without seeing My Jennie, and it makes me sad that I won't be going, but I am super happy that Leah is going, even though she will be away from me. She is such a momma's girl, so this will probably do her some good, but still it will be hard.
Jacqueline and I will have the week to ourselves. Saturday to Tuesday we will have entire days, and then Wednesday is afternoon and evening and Thursday and Friday are just evenings. We will be going shopping for both of us, to the pool a couple of times, to the zoo, out to eat just because we can, eating ice cream since we both love it, watching movies with supper picnics on the living room floor, taking her on bike rides to help her learn the workings of her new bike and hopefully getting together with a couple friends.
Part of it is that I have to keep busy to keep from missing Leah so much (hey! The baby is moving right now!), but also to just give Jacqueline a good ole' time! We'll post pictures of our fun, and hopefully of Leah's too!
