This cruise ship's name is Serenade of the Seas and on April 11th she will be serenading Jon and me as we sail through the Southern Caribbean. That means seven days of this...
It also means seven days without this...
How can I leave these precious girls for that long? I have to admit that it has been very challenging for me to make the decision to go. I love these girls more than life itself and my heart breaks every time I think of leaving them. I also know that I am going to face a lot of harsh criticism for leaving my children, but I have felt that it is necessary for me to support my husband. My parents and my aunt Annette have made my decision a little easier to handle as they have offered to take them during that time. What a sacrifice they are making so that I can go have an amazing adventure! (Thanks, guys!!!) So I know that the girls will be safe with them, and even though there will be many anxious times for me, I know that they will be getting showered with much love, attention, and not to mention a ton of candy. So, with that said, bring on the sea, sun, and scuba diving!!! Southern Caribbean, here we come!!!

Your girls are so beautiful and I know how hard it is to leave. . .But I am so EXCITED that you are coming so I will have a friend. We will have lots of fun and we can cry together about missing our girls! I can't believe how soon it is coming - I need to hit the treadmill!
What a beautiful trip! I am so jealous! You must soak up some sunshine for me. And don't feel too bad about leaving the little ones, everyone needs some R&R and they'll be just fine. You and Jon will have such a great time and just think how great it will be to come home to those darling little girls! Plus, it's always fun to go on trips and buy little gifts for your kids, I have a total weakness for that!
Amen to all that girl! I can imagine how hard it is to leave, but it is also very important for you to spend time with Jon! You'll have a great recharge and be an even more amazing mommy when you get back!
I can't imagine leaving my boys either! I bet it will be hard! But it will be time with Jon that you never get anymore, and that will be valuable. Can't wait to hear all about it.
BRITT!!! I feel ya! I left Braden 3 times for 10+ days the first year he was born. So basically I missed a whole month of his first year of life, so I know how hard it is. And.. again only once though his 2nd year. It doesn't get any easier...but it is well worth it. And I can honestly tell you... Carson is addicted to me, where Braden is to, but not like Carson. I truly beleive (thanks to my mother n law, that it is good for them.) They will love and miss you, but they will definitely forgive you. I seriously think, after 4 very hard times, it is harder on us, then them. HAVE FUN! I need a vacation... just remember were all jealous at home, and enjoy! ( I need to come see you. I haven't even been down to SF since Christmas! YO. I need to go. I hope you know I love you and will be on my way soon. Love, Lori)

thank you
Brittany, this is Katie (Swenson) and I wish I would have known you were going on a cruise when you were over because I just went a few months ago and left the boys! It is hard to go but once you are there, just enjoy yourself because they are getting treated so well that if they are anything like my boys, they wondered why mom and dad had to come home! Have so much fun and post lots of fun pictures!!!
