My little swimmer

Well- I had a wonderful weekend.

Alone with my first born for the first time..

Well, for the first time since his brother has been born ..

He had a swim meet in Augusta - so just he and I ..and my mom and step father- packed up the car and headed to Augusta! Gabe and I in one room and mom and Bucky just down the hall.

And what a great weekend it was.....

The bond and teamwork of the adults,,, getting Gabe to and from his events..finding ok places to eat..and then getting ourselves there - thanks to google maps.,

Was very special! 

The love and support was just awesome !!! 

Every morning they took turns taking Gabe to his warm up sessions - that were VERY early! And just taking away the stress from me - so I could focus on Gabe and just BE with him...be THERE for him. Which so many times, I feel like- I haven't been - to worried about all the other things going on..

Here - I could just focus on Gabe.

There were lots of special moments that really stuck with me..like this moment I caught Gabe and Bucky sharing 

As my mom and I enjoyed a nice walk along the river ! 

In the car coming home- Gabe I think somehow knew I was loosing my carefree- easyness from the weekend and gearing up for getting back home..

And he reached over to me and grabbed my hand ..and just held it..not letting me let go

Getting back home is hard...transition ..etc..

But I wanted to write my memories down so I wouldn't forget just how special this trip felt to me !
