sometimes each moment is so wonderful you don't want to move on to fast.
I drive to Howard Lake to meet my oldest daughter and her family. Leaving in time to meet at "Troubles" at 6:00.
They are here! It is 6:30 and the food is ready to go.
We eat
Load the car...
my precious cargo includes JaciAnna (8) and Jordyn Noel (1 1/2), some clothes, a new school bag, a soccer ball and then of course -
we need the net that goes with the soccer ball.
Chris bungee's the trunk shut and away we go. It is Sunday July 30th, 2012.
When we arrive in Arlington, they take a bath and put the pj's on. I lay Jordyn down in Ann's room in her pack and play, with Jaci laying next to me in my room. Within 5 minuets everyone is sleeping.
Grams comes in the morning so I can go to work, Allysa came about 10:30 to help with the tasks at hand, Lacey and Nola Jean arrive around 3:00. We have supper, Lacey goes to the Chiro. When she gets back I have all the conzins ready to go swimming.
OFF WE GO...
To the Glencoe city pool. Me, Lila, Lacey, Nola Jean, Jaci Anna and Jordyn Noel. Everyone has a wonderful time, it is worth the $28 to me to see the conzins play together.
To see Jaci so gently help the little ones on the slide...
to see her let them follow her all around the shallow end of the pool...
and her patience when I tell her she can't go in the "big" side until the little ones are done. I see a side of my first born grandchild I have not seen before...
she is maturing...
she is a big sister...
she is a conzin!
Nola Jean and Lacey leave for home on Tuesday. When I get home from work we load up Jaci and Jordyn and head down the road yet again. This time they will go with momma and Conner D. will come home with us. I go to work and Gramma D. along with Alyssa play with Conner and make sure his time with gramma is fun.
Today it is Friday August 3rd... I took off and we go out to the grounds to meet up with Carol and Duane, Nick, Heather, Addy, Emily, Jaci and Jordyn. It was very hot, but that never stops us from having fun. We saw animals, smelled hay, went on a few rides...
and then to the Arlington Haus for supper.
Okay...
it has been along day = time for bed, Brittany will be coming with Jack on Saturday so we can hold him and love on him a little. The girls all meet up with Starla at the Arlington haus, they laughed and learned a new word - SKUNNED. It is yet to be determined if that is in the dictionary.
Okay...
Carol, Miranda, Evelyn, Lindsey, Emi, Lacey, K., Robin, Al, Curt, Brittany, Dillan and Jack are here and it is a wonderful time of family and friends and of course a little food sitting out through out the day.
Okay...
I get ready to go to the grand, Emi takes Jaci, Lila and Conner to the movie "Ice Age Two", Lindsey left about 3:00. Everyone else left about 9:00pm. What a beautiful day
Okay...
I come home from the grand that had some excellent music. Clean up the house and head to bed! Everyone is sleeping and grams and I serve at church coffee on Sunday.
Okay...
So we get up and ready to go to church, Jaci comes with to help us serve. We make a little dinner upon arrival home and then head out to the fair for a little while again. Gramps comes out also and we just sit and enjoy the weather, the company, the love of family.
And now...
They are all gone
My house is quiet
and inside my heart I can hear the whole week-end
