I took this pic of Jakey in case I had to show what my suitcase looked like. Oh, and by the way, he wears this shirt every other day! For his birthday this month, he told me he wants, "'nother one, football shirt." What 2yr old asks for clothes for their bday????
Marc on vacation! Playing electronic Yahtzee with a Theology book on his knee.
Sarah as a pirate.
My daughter is so creative. Lately her creations have included watercoloring herself and her siblings to look sunburned on AWANA beach night, making a prosthetic arm from a bright green hand-shaped back scratcher and bandanas and this pirates beard from paper!
So our vacation is underway and we are enjoying our break in California. As we ran up to our flight gate a week and a half ago, we saw our plane being pushed away from the gate. 4 hours later we finally boarded a new plane to Kansas City and got off in L.A. We were delayed there for 2 hours before boarding a plane to Sacramento. Altogether our flight day took 19 hours from our door to my parents in Jackson, CA. God's mercy was so completely poured out on us as it didn't SEEM like a 19 hour trip to Marc and I and 5 kids! The kids should be awarded prizes for how well they survived the trip. The older kids were GREAT and Leah and Jacob cried at different times and Lizzy finally cried a bit in the L.A. airport, but who can blame her? By then it was midnight in Florida! Dan fell asleep on the floor of the terminal there and when we got him up, he had his McD's HappyMeal KidsBop CD stuck onto the side of his face since I begged him not to lay his face right on the carpet! :-) I wish I had a picture, but Sarah fell asleep in Leah's carseat!
Marc has been the picture of relaxation since we arrived. His new attention grabber is electronic Yahtzee. When Sarah misplaced it he bought the app. for his iPhone to continue his new habit! He did work on computers in Florida from afar and read theology books and best of all, played with the kids in new silly ways. My favorite was when he was playing swords with Jakey and Dan and pulled himself "wounded" down the hallway by his elbows to "get one last kiss from his true love(moi) before he died." LOVE IT!
Marc returned to Jupiter 3 days ago after our trips to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. Look for those updates and pics as soon as I have some more time!
