Heading Out

We are packing up and heading out and can't wait! It's that time of the year again and we are excited for another awesome trip here.

My cousin Andy is coming this year and not only will it be so much fun to have him there to hang out with, but he'll also be a HUGE help with the kids as he always is. The kids are extra excited this year knowing that he'll be there to play with them.

We are praying for no problems with the RV as we had our share of them last year. After a few tire blowouts which turned into an unexpected expense and caused the trip there to take much longer than we'd anticipated, we are praying that this time around will be smooth "sailing".

Before we depart, here are just a few random things that I'm so thankful for...

...for Gracie's special "date" with Ava and Kaya to see the ballet performance Cinderella at the Kravitz Center. The night truly made her feel like a princess herself. Thank you Brian and Kelly for including her on Ava's special birthday surprise!

...for having a sweet kitty who keeps my boy company during his many art adventures

...for having a very flexible and patient son who is willing to put up with his sisters many episodes of playing dress up

...for having wonderful childhood friends to gather together with and watch our children play together as we once did long ago

...for having another sweet kitty who I affectionately call Rubylicious who is so patient with a little boy who is often seen running around the house with her in his arms

...and finally for this amazing and beautiful woman who helps me more than I'd ever be able to begin to describe. She truly is a Saint in my life! She will be babysitting the soon to be peepers for us while we're away and will be taking the honor of the three times a day rotations while they grow. Thanks so much Aunt Joyce. We love you!!!

It's 5 am and we are rolling out! Hope you have a great weekend!
