Mommy pulled a fast one on Daddy today on our first adult trip away from all the kids for the weekend. We were supposed to be going to Nashville with Uncle Frank and Aunt Amy to celebrate Daddy getting old and turning 40. From the time we got on the plane to the time we made it to our temporary home in Nashville, more of Daddy’s best friends were showing up. Chris & Leigh on the plane, Josh at the arrival gate, Chuck & Steph at baggage claim, the Stewarts & Schaefers at the loft, and the Drebys arrived for happy hour. It was an amazing surprise, which ended up being 17 people in all. The fact that we all could find babysitters for the 25 kids we have between us was a small miracle. We celebrated with lots of platonic man hugs.
