Today I leave for a work trip to China for two weeks. And the level of anxiety is through the roof...
I know the girls and Miles will be taken care of, but that doesn't make me any less emotional. The girls are at the "mama mama mama" stage and I am going to miss their sweet faces like crazy! And my sweet Miles...I've lined him up to be spoiled every day with dad, uncles, and grandparents in hopes he's not mad I'm gone. Thank you everyone who is helping while I'm gone, especially Mitch...who knows all too well that 3 small kids is hard to manage and stay sane.
If Miles had the "best day ever" yesterday than Mine was today. I let the boys sleep in from our sleepover and had some quality time with the girls this morning before their first nap. Then I went back to bed for a bit before going on a solo run in the beautiful fall weather. Then it was a family trip to Starbucks for breakfast and home for playtime and naps and getting ready. Mimi and grandpa C came over to help while Mitch and I packed (me for my trip, him for getting the kids ready for the week).
Later Mitch and the kids took me to the airport and had dinner there with me before saying our goodbyes.

To my sweet little family- I'm going to miss you so much! I'm homesick already and I haven't even left the ground in Portland. But I'm also glad for the opportunity, and for my new job I've worked so hard for.

I love you sweet babies!
