Grandpa

Jerry was so excited to see Kyndra. He hadn't seen her since August and she has changed so much since then. She is starting to talk but so far its mostly jabber. Jerry was trying to get her to say his name and he said, "Say Grandpa, Kyndra". Kyndra looked at him and said as clear as a bell, "Do-Do". He was so disappointed. All week the girls called him Grandpa Do-do. I think this serves him right because he thought it was hilarious when Jessica called me puppy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYNDRA!!!

On Thursday night of our trip to Canton Gary's parents invited all of us to dinner. We also had a birthday party for Kyndra. It was so much fun to spend time with family and to celebrate such a wonderful occasion.

On the road again!

Here we are sitting at the air port waiting for our flight to board. Can't wait to get to Peoria. Unfortunately we won't get there until 10pm. It's fun watching people at the air port. It's also fun listening to people. When people talk on their cell phones they forget that eveyone can hear them. Sometimes I think they surely wouldn't say "that" if they knew I was listening. Even if you try not to listen you get sucked in. It's rude to listen but when your bored entertainment is entertainment. People sure do dress sloppy. I notice it more and more. I know not every one is a fashion icon but at least they could comb their hair and brush their teeth. How sad that some people don't think enough of themselves to care.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYNDRA!!!

Today is Kyndra's first birthday. It is amazing to think that 1 year ago we were at the hospital waiting for our little angel to be born. We were so excited and she was so beautiful. Right then and there we decided we needed to be with our family no matter where they were. All I kept thinking is what am I going to do when Cassie has babies and we are 2000 miles away. Well as you know God has a way of working things out. We will be so happy when we get to move to Illinois so we can be with both our kids and all of our grandkids. I know that God wants us there and that he will open the path for us to get there. We just need to be patient ( which is really hard for me) and let him work. We love you Kyndra and can't wait to see you!!

Is Spring Here Yet?

This time of year I always get antsy for spring. I know that we probably have at least 2 more months of winter but I can't help looking forward to every little sign. Yesterday I noticed that the tulips we planted by the mail box one of the first years we lived here are coming up. I love it when they bloom because they are such a pretty red. This spring I will really miss our beautiful flowering plum tree that was right outside our living room window. It fell down during the ice storm we had around Christmas. Nearly everyday I see new signs of spring. The little kids at the day care love picking dandelions. I end up with a whole collection of them at the end of the day. Sunday is daylights savings time and we will turn our clocks forward one hour. That's another sign of spring!!! Can't wait=)

Here we go again!

Well if you don't already know, I have a new job. I actually start today. It was a really cool experience getting interviewed for this job. When I got there the lady said, " I already know I'm going to hire you." She then explained that she had prayed and asked God to help and I was the first person to show up. Pretty cool huh! I told her of course that was because my daughter, who is God's favorite, was praying for me to get a job. When I was leaving after a 2 hour interview she asked me to tell Jessica she still needed a infant teacher.

I am getting so excited for our trip. I miss my girls so much and I kinda miss Kyndra a little too! Josh and Jessica should be closing on their new house while we are there and Cassie and Gary have a surprise too. I can't wait to get back home and put our house up for sale so we can get out of here. I will miss some people but I will be happier in Illinois.
