Our Way Home

It hasn't even been a week since we've been home but it feels like it's been forever! Here are some pictures of our way home. This is my Great Grandma Bazley who turned 91 the day before this picture. We took her the richest chocolate cake I have ever seen! The boys enjoyed visiting with her, giving lots of hugs and kisses before leaving.
On the way home our seating was better for us. It was a long day and we were really glad to be back home!

Yesterday we took the boys to Build-A-Bear. Normally I'm not a huge fan of spending more then you need to on things, but these teddy bears are special. We had Phil record a message for both boys and put inside their own bears. That way when he's gone, they can hear him tell them he loves them whenever they want!
We took the bears to bed last night and this morning they're still carrying them around!
Overall, right now things are crazy! Getting ready to close on the house, Phil is finishing up his classes, preparing to move, preparing for two different roads trips (one for Phil and one for the boys and myself) and preparing to be apart in a way we haven't had to be in 3 1/2 years.
As I write this, we have several guys here working on removing the tank from our basement and finish up on siding on the garage. I'm inside trying to catchup on chores. Please be praying for us over the next couple weeks. We're taking things one step at a time, hoping we're not forgetting everything and trusting in God's grace and goodness to get us through.
