The olders and Mike played a rousing game with cards, spoons, and much hitting.
The youngers and I explored new toys and such. This was a CRAZY buy on my part- but that is what happens when you shop with very little energy! ::snort:: These are LOUD. I don't buy toys that make noise because we have plenty of real noise makers around here and don't need to add artificial noisemakers. Ah well...he loves them. 
The buzzer went off. The girls had 15 minutes before needing to be at the airport - we live 7 minutes from the airport. The hunt for shoes began. Krista ended up leaving with a pair of my sandals instead of her flip flops. We made it in plenty of time. We always laugh at this tiny airport. They want everyone through security so EARLY and it takes all of 3 minutes to get through...but we cooperated....
We had a wonderful week with the girls home. Now it's time for them to continue on the path that God has placed them on.....and we simply rejoice when our paths allow us to be together in real life....until then....there's always blogs, my space, and phones!

I'm so glad you had time to spend with the girls ~ my how quickly they've grown into young ladies. After reading Bre's MySpace entry, I'm thankful she and Krista were able to be home during this timeperiod in your family's life ~ Bre learns so much just from watching you and absorbing what you do.

Those good byes have got to be so hard! I like your perspective of enjoying the time when your paths are able to cross!
Ah, those airport goodbyes, they can be tough.
I'm glad you all had this week together.
Gotta love those little airports! Holly was thrilled on our recent trip to walk on the tarmac--although she was also a little worried since she'd never done it before, lol.

I always hated airport goodby's and always got an earfull from the SB mom's in Davao when I let the tears roll (who coule stop them) when you kids headed back to Manila. Yuck!
Did you cut Krista's hair. She looks totally beautiful in that foto with the new hairdo. Two beautiful girls heading back to Spokane.
Couldn't help but notice that Arielle is among the older's observing how to play the card/spoon game. Funny! :)

WHOOPS AND DOUBLE WHOOPS. I meant Stacia when I talked about being part of the olders group. She is so cute and seems to be a regular pistol not wanting to miss out on anything. :):):)

Sweet, sweet smile in the last picture. Sigh. Good byes are so bitter sweet.
I must have missed these few entries when you posted them.
Isn't she a sweetie, Kathy? BITTER SWEET - that's what this phase of parenting is all about.
