Grace's grandparents all love hosting sleepovers for the baby, and once every month or so Carrie and I are more than happy to oblige. As parents, it's good to get away for a bit to blow off some steam and not be on infant alert at every moment, so it's an incredible blessing that our parents live so close and are so excited to spend time with Grace.
Last weekend was such an opportunity, as we dropped off Grace with my in-laws and headed upstate for a night with some friends. The Saturday night party was a lot of fun and everything seemed to go off without a hitch, at least until went to pick up our daughter Sunday afternoon. Grace was furious at us for leaving her behind and spent the rest of the day letting us know all about it.
