We're Back

We're back from vacation and slowly reentering into the "real" world. We had such a wonderful and relaxing time as a family of three. We left Sunday morning after we fed Maddox his breakfast and arrived in Ruidoso around 1pm (we stopped at the Bottomless Lakes State Park ate our lunch and let Maddox run around for a while)

We stayed at the Inn of the Mountain Gods.....oh my goodness, it was so beautiful. The view was gorgeous. Brad and I were talking this evening, and we both agreed our favorite part about the trip was the ability to not have a schedule we had to go by. We could go wherever, whenever, and however it best suit what we needed for Maddox or ourselves.

For those of you who don't know, last week was a very trying week for me with Maddox. He is at a stage where he is testing ALL the boundaries, screaming when he doesn't get his way; thus making life in the Voda house exhausting and patience very thin. I was weary of the vacation, staying in hotel and the 5 hour drive; however, everything went beautifully. Sure, Maddox had a few times when he wanted to "make sure" we really meant he couldn't do certain things, but over all he was a complete joy....he slept great, eat great, laughed, talked and played as hard as he could.
