Click below to read my latest parenting column for U.S. Catholic magazine. This is probably my grand finale for that publication, but it’s been a fun ride. Click here to read the other 11 columns I wrote over the years.
As our 10th wedding anniversary approached, my wife, Theresa, and I hatched a plan to celebrate. We would ask my parents and brothers to watch our four young kids—ages 2 through 8—so we could get away for two nights to somewhere we could hike, bike, and eat good food. We settled on the lovely town of Sheboygan, Wisconsin and found a weekend that worked for my family to babysit.
This may sound like a relatively simple getaway, but I can count on one hand the number of times we have spent even a single night together away from our kids in the last eight years of parenting. By our standards, this was a big escape and a much-needed time to relax and recharge.
