Jacob has been counting down the days until vacation by counting his nighttime sleeps. The adorable-ness is incredible! 

Tonight while laying in bed, Joe was showing Jacob pictures of the “big boat” online. Jacob was mesmerized, especially at the size of the massive ship. At one point he stops and says “The boat is sad.” Huh? Sad? Gently asking why, Jacob explained “because I not on it.” Oh, my heart!

Needless to say, our family is ready for this time away to unplug, decompress and create the most amazing memories together.  It’s Jacob’s first cruise and our in-laws first too. We are very fortunate to enjoy this adventure with them.

I’m determined to make 2017 the best year, yet it’s started off a little rocky. It’s not that anything particularly bad has happened, it just hasn’t lived up to my amazingly high expectations just yet. But it is only mid-January and I plan to embrace that! 

In the words of Jacob, it’s just “one sleep!” and we are off to create new adventures, make memories and laugh, a lot.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends! ❤
