We're Here!

After 2,486 times of 

"Is it almost time to be at at Tyler and Sarah's?"

{sadly, 2,483 of those were from Dw! - haha!}

and

twenty-five hours of on-the-road drive time,

 we are here!

We had not seen Tyler in over a year, and it is so wonderful to hug that boy of ours {and hug him and hug him and hug him}.  Many of you remember that Sarah {thankfully!} was able to come home for Christmas this past year and we sort of Skyped with Tyler who was overseas at the time. 

and now

We are on their turf, seeing a part of the country that most of our family has never seen, staying in their beautiful home 

{reminds Dw and I of our first home 33 years ago} ....

Oh, how good it is to be together with these two treasures of ours!

And boy-oh-boy, do they ever grow some gigantic 

leaves around here!

I love having my kids all in the same car together, it's one of my favorite things...laughing, talking, enjoying, snuggling, remembering, story-tellin', sweet teasing....and last night as we road over to the water together we were only missing Autumn, Karl, Abi, Ryan, Finn, Little Miss R and Miss S.

 We are so thankful that we get to be together 

making memories 

before that yellow ribbon goes up again.
