Before Daddy leaves again.

Jeffrey is leaving again! This time it is for 2 months. So we decided to do something fun as a family before he left. Last night we rented "Nims Island" and ate pizza and had icees. It was a really cute movie. The pizza was from Upper Crust and it is the best pizza. Today, we went to the beach. It was the perfect beach day. It was nice to have daddy go along because I am afraid to get in the water. The kids all dug for sandcrabs and Jeffrey and Taylor were brave enough to go out into the big waves. Yikes! That was a little scary for me, but they did survive. We plan to go again Monday before school starts and Jeffrey leaves.

Jeffrey leaving is a huge oppurtunity for him. We are very proud of him. Not to brag, but Boeing requested Jeffrey go back and the president of GE's Military Division accepted. Even though two months seems like a long time, we are excited for him to grow in the company. Good job Daddy! We love you!

While he is away I will be busy with 4 of the children going to school. During the day I have to go out 5 different times to pick up and drop off. Good thing the schools are close. When he returns Jeffrey and I will be going to Hawaii for his sisters wedding. Yeah! I am a little scared because I have never been on an airplane. But by that time I am sure I will be over it. Wish me luck on my next couple of months.

Counting the days

Well it has almost been three weeks now that my husband has been gone away on a business trip. He had the opportunity to go to Kansas to show the big people what he could do. During his time gone I have managed to keep myself busy. The first week my brother Chuck came down and stayed with me a couple of days with his wife Jewel and son Zander. The second week me and the kids went on our family vacation that we go on every year with my family. I really missed Jeff being there but again this is a great opportunity for him. Unfortunately as I was packing for my vacation I realized that my camera was in Kansas with Jeff. Even though I bought a disposable one sadly enough I still didn't take any pictures. Jeff is usually the camera man. My sisters did take pictures so hopefully I can post some later. We had a blast. Now I am on my third week counting down the days for Jeff to come home. My sister Bridget was so kind to come down and help me out for the week since it was my first week of all seven kids home ALL DAY. So far we have made it and I am glad tomorrow is Friday. I am so thankful for family and the support they give me. I am also very thankful for my husband and I am so proud of him. It has been a rough couple of weeks but we both survived. I can't wait for Sunday to pick him up. I Love you Jeffrey. Thank you for everything you do for our family! Hugs and kisse from all of us!
