to my angels
to my little angels,
Leaving you for even an hour makes my heart.ache….so this trip has given mama many many tears. I will miss you both desperately. I will think of you both constantly and please forever know that your lives forever changed mine. You both gave meaning to my life that I never knew existed. You make my heart full in ways that I didn’t know was possible.
If something were to happen to me and mommy didn’t make it home… here are things I want you to hold dear to your heart until we meet again,
1. you both can change the world..follow your dreams, your dad and I did…don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t.
2. Make Jesus number one in your life, He is the one that will never fail you…cling to Him
3. Mama is trusting that God will wrap his arms around you both and forever protect you… that He will be enough and He will show you in small ways how much I loved you both. You littles were my life.
I hope that people will wake up all hours of the night with you both, that they will hold you tight…that they will be gentle with you and patient…. because that is how you have lived thus far. I pray that you are snuggled much, kissed much, inspired and loved well.I hope you both keep a piece of me with you always :).
Even minutes away from you feels like an eternity. I love you my baby A’s….
love, mama

You're an amazing mama.. I will be praying for you & your hubby, and for your beautiful little angels.

Seriously, tears just reading this. I am the same way with my babies, it is hard to leave them. You are an awesome mama and they are so lucky to have you. 🙂 Have fun on your trip!!! ♥♥♥
absolutely touching casey.
you have a beautiful way with words.

you are PRECIOUS. have so much fun… your littles are gonna be watched over 🙂
ah…I would find if so hard to leave as well, you said it all so eloquently! praying for safe travels for you!
Awww you are such a good Momma!! I totally know how you feel. My husband and i went away for just a short little weekend and it was almost unbearable how much we missed our little guy.I will be praying for a safe flight! Enjoy this time with your husband. can't wait to hear updates about your trip!
Oh, Casey! This had me in tears. It perfectly put into words what I feel as a mother for my little. You have such a way with words. Thank you for blessing me with this tonight. I'll be praying for you and your littles as you travel.
I hope you have a FANTASTIC time!
This is such a sweet post. I don't have any children yet, but I hope when I do, I can be as patient and loving of a momma as you seem like! Enjoy your trip! Your babies will be well taken care of, I'm sure! 🙂
sooooooooo sweet.
This is exactly how I feel everytime I had to leave my little girl to go somewhere. There are always fears that something may happen. The first time my husband and I were forced to go on a vacation was when she's 18 months old. It's only 2 hours away…2 nights but it was the hardest thing and I didn't want to go at all. Once you're away and you know they are taken care of..all will be good. Have a safe trip, everything will be alright 🙂
Wow: this is so special. I would feel the same way. Its not going to be easy, but I hope once you leave you will have comfort knowing they are well taken care of and that you DESERVE a lovely getaway with your love 🙂 enjoy xoxo
Casey, praying for sweet rest and love for you and Chris on this trip, and for you to be able to rest in HIM knowing that He will protect and provide for every need your little A's have. He loves them so very much. now go and have a fabulous, peaceful, beautiful trip girl!!
this is so sweet. i love the pics
Your kids will be loved. They will be just fine and believe it or not this type of changes help them become more confident in your love and their parents. I've been leaving my children since they were babies to go on travels with my husband. I would never regret it for we become as closer and happier as a couple and therefore we do better as parents. Enjoy to the MOST!
Casey, this is so sweet. My mom wrote a letter to me when I was 7 1/2 months old the night before she and my dad took my sister to Hawaii. I have made copies of the handwritten letter to make sure nothing ever happens to it. I will always hold it dear to my heart. It says so much about who she is, what our family was like, and you can see Christ's love pouring through her… Just. Like. You. You inspire me. You are an amazing, loving, selfless, wonderful Christian women who is the best mother to your littles. Should anything ever happen to you, you will never be forgotten… You have truly influenced the lives of so many people, especially your children, and made them better. I love you! I'll be praying for the Lord to send his angels to watch over you.

omygosh I do this same sort of thing ANYTIME I leave my babes for more than a day. (which I don't do much)
I panic and I think I should leave them a note just in case…
enjoy your trip!!!
I hope you can use your time away as a chance to reconnect with your husband. Time spent away from your sweet babies, will help them to see how much their daddy loves their momma when you return. Your kids are probably enjoying their time away from you and having their own "vacation". And the best part is that they will be FULL of hugs and kisses all ready for you when you return.
My heart goes out to you until you return.
I'm a new follower of your and I just wanted to say that I loved this post. It was beautiful. I'll be grabbing you button to show off over at Mommas Like Me 🙂

such a beautiful and sweet post…and yah for baby #3!
this made me cry so much. i have those exact same thoughts whenever i leave my baby (even just for date night!) and if something ever happened to me as i'm sure every mom has thought about. it's amazing how strong a hold those littles can have on you 🙂
Sweet Sweet Post! I'm CERTAIN that your babies KNOW just how much you love them! I too have these fears as we travel, even together. I think the worst, but God is in control. Our what if's don't change His plan! Praying for safe travels!
This post was so sweet & really hit close to home. Whenever I leave my daughter Zoey I get that heartache feeling! I don't think it will ever go away. I love how you write – it's always so inspiring.
Ps. I have linked up with your blog twice now and just realised that I'm suppose to add your button to my blog post when doing so! I feel like such an idiot and I'm so sorry for not correctly linking up!
You have a gorgeous family! Congrats on #3.
