Headed to Wyoming

I'm headed to Wyoming on Saturday. I've been fretting about the flight for a month now. I'd tried to find airports that may be ok even though it's still winter time up north. I fly into Chicago then to Denver then finally to Rapid City. I sure hope the weather holds, the flights are on time and there are no unruly passengers! Tom is staying home to hold down the fort and keep the paychecks coming in. I sure hope he'll be ok for a month. It's really strange....I'm excited to go see family and to meet our new granddaughter, but at the same time...sad that I'll be away from Tom for a month. I guess that's what they call mixed emotions? Anyways, I'm hoping we'll both survive the time apart. This will be the first time since we got married that we'll be apart for this length of time. Wish us luck!

Hope all is well in your little corner of the world!

A week in our life!

This week our 2 adopted grand daughters have birthdays! I don't know where the time has flown, thats for sure. Today is Clarissa's birthday and she is FOUR! Abby's birthday is Thursday and she'll be THREE! It is so amazing to me that these little girls are 3 & 4 this year. It must have been just yesterday that Clarissa was turning ONE and Abby wasn't even born yet. I know I just blinked my eyes and 3 years have passed. Seems that all our grandsons have had this same thing happen to them. One minute they were little bitty tikes and now they are Handsome Young Men. All 8 of them! Our little Kaitlyn Rose is also growing. Her mom reported that she has graduated from preemie clothes to 1-3 month clothes. I'm getting antsy to go see Kaitlyn and be her nanny for a month! It's a sad time...hard to leave Tom behind for a month, but exciting to go see the new baby and spend time with Aaron's family.

We got to tell Abby and Clarissa Happy Birthday on the phone today! Thanks Angie for calling! We love and miss you all very much!
