mr. & mrs. stokes go to washington




Freddy and I took a trip (just the two of us) to Washington for a few days. Initially we were just going to go overnight for my grammy's funeral, but we decided to make a mini-vacation out of it. We got back on Tuesday night and I was so so excited to see my baby! Well, unfortunately she didn't share the same sentiment. She got the biggest frown on her face and was looking around for my mom. I can't believe it, I carried her for nine months, have been with her everyday for four months, and I am gone for 3 days and she forgets who I am!! Needless to say, she has remembered who I am and it is all good now. This is the longest we have been gone from her, and I was proud of myself! I didn't cry once and I only called about every 4 hours :)! We had such a great time touring the city for a day, eating out, and reconnecting as a couple. I must say though, it was a bit weird without baby girl. It's funny because you don't really realize how many strollers are around until you are a parent. I swear we saw so many strollers and little kids, I just think we never noticed them before we were in the same boat. As fun as it was to get away I couldn't wait to get back home. Since then, I have been trying to catch up with everything around the house, because it looked like a hurricane hit! I finally got the fall decorations down so that I can put the Christmas decorations up this weekend. Better late than never!!
