Home From Canada!!

::Chris's family::

We survived ten whole days with Dad and Mom being gone! We did our best to keep everything running, like having the meals prepared on time, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, picking the veggies, taking dog calls, feeding the neighbors animals, keeping three lil' boys occupied, watering plants, putting things into the fair, etc, etc... Anyway, we enjoyed our time together with Micah and Jenny and I think they enjoyed it as much as we did. Only, I think Micah went home happy that children only come one at a time! Living by yourselves for a year and then moving in with a whole big family and having to make all the decisions can be quite different! :) We never went hungry, Jenny's awesome meals always left us groaning from eating so much! Even though everything went great, it was nice to have Dad, Mom and Jessica back home. Things just seem to run a lot smoother. :)


Dad and Mom had a great time in Canada, but I can't say the same about Jessica. Jessica didn't have a great time, she had awesome, incredible, fabulous, amazing, terrific, magnificent, splendid, wonderful, crazy, mind blowing, unreal, time!! lol And that still doesn't hardly explain it by the way she speaks of it! Anyway, the news is to come on the very next post, so  check back! Ok, you probably already guessed it, but if you haven't don't try! :)

Mom was really afraid that she wasn't going to like flying, but she came back with the report that everyone should have at least one chance to fly in their life time. She loved it! :)
