Grands Adventure

You are on your way home and I know that Sammy and Joey are going to be the happiest kids in the world tonight when they see you again. They have been so good while you were gone. I'm not going to lie of course - there were the occasional meltdowns - but that is just part of being a kid.  I have such regained respect for everything that you get done in a day - not sure how you do it! I'm exhausted but the best kind of tired.

Also, have the greatest respect for the job you are doing as parents. These children are smart, funny, kind, compassionate, curious, open, and very brave. We have loved spending this time with them and hope they have enjoyed it too!

Welcome home soon and enjoy the hugs they will give you!

They woke up early thanks to Papa John leaving for work which left them plenty of time for breakfast, getting ready and even some time to play. We walked to school which I thought would b...
