lots and lots of lovin' from Amah and Papa. Not that we get a whole lot of time to hold him ~ every one of the kids as well as Mom and Dad want their turns!! Greedy People!!! hehe
We have been so totally blessed by being able to be here during this time. It isn't all grandparents that are able to be so much in thier childrens lives and live so far away! I feel so truly blessed!!
He is such a great gift!! He and Tetee spent the day shopping with us today.
We spent most of the day finishing off the things the kids (and me) will need right after we get back from Oregon. I think all of the kids (and I) are suitably attired for the cruise ~ only 25 days left!
We head for Coos Bay to see our White Elephant on Monday. It will be great to see old friends and relatives in Oregon.
We've also put the "little house" in Florida on the market ~ actually ~ we asked a friend to put a For Sale sign in the window. It is offerred completely furnished and at a great price. In the 2 years since the hurricanes the carport is new, new siding and stucco has replaced the old finish so it looks really nice. It has even has room to park an extra vehicle!!And after lots of soul searching and much talking with God . . . we've also decided that we will probably put the RV on the market when we get back to Florida in October. It is a 1999 Bounder, 34' w/1 slide out. It is in really good shape with less than 20,000 miles on it. We drove it cross country and back 2 years ago and took a trip to Georgia in it last year. I have to clean our personal stuff out of it (that's why we have to wait until October) - and if it doesn't sell - we will probably take it to Oregon next year and leave it there. We just do not use it as much as we thought we would.
We really feel that the Lord is leading us to make these changes - but if this isn't His way . . . it won't happen. We are both trying really hard to "let Him lead" in our lives.
