Kids CA Vacation
Grandma Lori spontaneously invited to bring all 4 of our kids to her CA home last weekend. She will be bring them home this coming weekend. They will have been gone
a total of 8 days...which is a LONG time for us, considering theyve never been away longer than a weekend in the past.
The kids are having an awesome time. Darla loved sharing today how she can dive off Grandma's diving board now. Elijah is over the moon about the new trailblazer colored shoes & basketball shirt his grandparents got him. Payton is looking forward to spending the night at his Aunt Lena's tonight...a getaway from his younger siblings no doubt. Elijah couldnt believe how "huge" his teenage cousin Lennon has become. Darla is in love with the adorable 2 year old cousin Drevin, and wants to bring him home with her. lol
Thank you Grandma & Grandpa Garber for having the kids for such a special & memorable trip!! So special & generous of you.

I am my kids mother!
As DR Laura always says "I am my kids mother!"
I will always be their mama, regardless of their age. They know I am here for them for always. I thank the Lord my babies feel comfortable talking to me about anything & everything. We are so blessed to have Payton, Darla, Elijah, & Nolan entrusted to our care.
I look forward to spending my life encouraging & supporting my children. I smile thinking about the future dinners we will someday get to share with our adult children & their families. All the new memories with our growing family excite me to no end! The thought of babysitting our grandbabies, ensuring mama & papa get plenty of alone time nurturing their marriage, thrills me! I no doubt will giggle with delight to make my kids wedding anniversary cards-what a grand accomplishment in todays world, will never forget a birthday-afterall they are my most favorite days of the year, attend school functions, come over & help fold laundry, or whatever my kids would appreciate. I know a lot of women a generation ahead of me might be laughing at me. They are probably sighing "You just wait Amy...you will be busy with another phase of life... tired and too busy to do all these things you dream of above." And true as it may be for many.... I will defy the odds because "I am my kids mother!" They are my life and my interest in their lives doesn't decrease when they turn 18 & move away. I do, however, look forward to doing a little bit less laundry & less driving them to & fro.
