10 Days Without Carsen

After 18 months, I'm spending not only one night but 10 nights away from Carsen. Eric has spent time away from him but not me. We're leaving for Hawaii early in the morning and decided not to take Carsen w/ us. I took him to Bogue on Sat. and stayed for the first night of the rodeo. Carsen had a great time seeing all the animals. It was strange driving home w/o him yesterday but I know he's having a great time w/ grandma and grandpa. It's good for both of us to be w/o each other for a few days.
