okay, well it's Sunday evening and I wanted to make one last entry before we left on our vacation. Here's a few things that happened this week. This cute little puppy is Ziggy. He's our neighbors new dog. A dayafter getting him they left on a little trip for 3 days and we watched him. He was more work than a child. He was into everything and you couldn't distract him with a movie. Luckily our dog Lucas found him entertaining and they got along well. I took a photo of the kids with their new Boston hats that Grandma brought back from her visit there. The last picture was Dirk's project of the month. The goal was to finish it before we left. He almost made it. He still has to make a door and paint the trim. I have to say how proud I am of him, this was a bit of a puzzle for him. He made it from scratch using the space we had. It is L-shaped. He had the vision and built it. He did a great job and it looks good too. Although, we'll have to wait until winter to see how it holds up to the elements! Finally, I have been constantly making a list of all the things I need to do before we left. There were many arrangements to be made and letters to write. I think I finally finished everything that I needed to do. Of course, in doing these things I couldn't help but get a bit emotional in the thought of leaving my children for so long. As a Mom, my mind goes crazy with what if's and then flying, that brings a whole new element of worry. I just have to let all go. I have wonderful friends and family that have so graciously offered their help to me and my children while we are gone and I am ever so grateful. I'm dedicating this song (For Good from the musical Wicked) that's playing, to all my friends both old and new. I'm so excited that we will make a detour to NYC to see Wicked. I love the words of this song and it just epitomizes my feelings right now. I have met so many talented, creative, faithful, wonderful women over the years and so much of what I do and who I am is because of what I have gleaned from them. So I thank you friends for sharing yourselves with me. Don't mean to get sappy, it's just the hour and the circumstance. Like I said, just feeling emotional right now. Well, we will be leaving pretty early, not sure I'll even sleep tonight. I hope to have lots of pictures to share when we get back. See ya' in 3 weeks!
