We took the kids to my sister's house in SC last weekend to stay for a couple of weeks. I've had mixed emotions about it all week. I know they are being well cared for, but I don't like the reason that they're there. My sister is helping me by keeping them so I don't have to pay for a sitter here. She's coming down here for a couple of weeks in July to watch them here as well. It will be nice to have her here, but I won't be able to do much with them since I'm working full time now.
While we were there last weekend, we took the kids to go see Uncle Michael at his "other job" - to take a ride on a bulldozer. The kids loved getting up into the bulldozer and were so excited about taking a ride, until . . .
Michael turned the key. D's face suddenly changed from excited to very concerned. The total ride ended up being about 10 seconds and consisted of barely getting the bulldozer turned before D convinced Michael he wanted to get off. E seemed to like it just fine, but I think she was glad to get down as well (afterall, it was pretty big!!)
Abigail and Rachel got to take a turn as well. Obviously, they had no problem being in there with their Daddy.
I've tried not to call too much because I know they're fine. Besides, I'm sure Linda would call me if there were a problem. It's been kinda weird not having the kids around, but it has made it a little easier to get some things done in getting the house ready to sell. D's been over at the house painting every night this week (just about finished). I've been over there some, trying to determine what to keep out of what's left over there. If you no anyone looking for a house in the Parkview school district, send them our way - we have just what they need (3 bed/2 bath) and at a great price. We're only asking $149,000, hoping to get it sold quickly.

I can imagine it's hard having the kids gone, but I hope you and Darrell are enjoying your time together. I didn't know ya'll were moving... where to?
Jonathan would have reacted the EXACT same way to the big tractor. He can't stand loud noises- will start out small voiced "get me out" and get more and more scared if you keep him where he doesn't want to be anymore. Enjoy your free time with your husband- even if you are very brave to send your young'ns away for so long....... by the way- we are due again in DECEMBER!!!!!!!!
I am sure the kids are having a great time! Hope all goes well with selling the house...we are praying for you guys!
where are you guys moving to?
sometimes i long to have a break from the kids, but i always miss them if we are apart for more than a day. trip seems to enjoy talking on the phone these days, but quinn barely says anything on the phone... that makes it hard to be away!
