Our first adventure out! (Without Daddy or Grandma helping)

The kids and I packed up the diaper bag and headed out today. We took a 45 minute drive in the rain to the Belchertown Family Center. We had a lot of fun. Ethan got to play with all the kids and toys and I got to show Camille off to all the moms there. As I was getting ready to go home I thought to myself "this was a pretty successful trip" but as we were leaving the woman who runs the center told me it was pouring outside and that she would watch my kids if I wanted to pull my car down closer. By the time I got back inside to get the kids I looked like I had been in the shower for 15 minutes! The drive home was very scary. It was raining so hard I could barely see out of the window and I kept hydroplaning. Ethan was scared too, poor thing. But we are now home, safe and sound. The kids are fed and sleeping and I am enjoying some homemade banana bread and decaf coffee. I would say I am proud of myself for taking this trip out this morning and that God made it just a wee bit more challenging to show me I could do it. =)
