Still Here

We decided to tough it out and stay here on our own.
Surprisingly, it hasn't been too bad.
We've actually been having fun!

Too make things interesting, I packed up the kids and drove to Seattle to see my brother Darin and his wife Charla. Its only a 3 hour drive. Totally doable for a day trip. Darin was performing in an Opera and I wanted to see it. So Charla was a HERO and offered to watch all of the kids for 3 hours. What a champ! Cheers to her! It was a kooky Opera that was fun to watch. I hadn't been without my kids (well, for anything besides a doctor's appointment) since May. Well overdue!

One more week to go!

We go there a couple times a week. She loves to play with other kids. It is also fun to watch her try new things! Sounds like you guys are doing well also. I commend you for practically being a single mother!
