We are so excited and just can't believe this is all really happening. There are tons of last minute details that have to be done. But we are used to last minute things, its the way we operate :-)

I have the majority of our packing done and tomorrow is Boy Day! We have just a couple of things to do in the morning unexpected, which threw Rodney's work schedule off and then tomorrow afternoon is going to be devoted to the boys. They are wanting to see Spiderman 3, eat out (I can only imagine we will be dining at McDonalds) and then maybe go play "something". I know they have bowling in mind, but I cannot imagine Parker holding it together in a bowling alley. We'll see.

Regardless, I want to spend some fun time with the boys before we leave. This is the hardest part about leaving...knowing that our 3 boys will be so far away. I don't know what I'll do without my Parker sugar, Carter hugs and Jacob hanging on my waist :-(

Trying to fill up with Carter, Jacob and Parker "lovin'" and sending love to my Anna.
