We went to the mall and signed up for a new family cell phone plan. We have had tracfones. Which worked great for emergencies but cost MORE than a family plan when you have FAMILY that live out of the house. We shopped around and Sprint is the best deal for us...and THEN they gave us a 15% military discount after we'd decided they were the best deal. Sweet. This will make it easier to keep in contact with the girls. Josiah and I were looking at a local plan but Sprint will give us two phones here and two phones in WA.
Krista put together airplanes with the younger boys.
Stacia asked Jared, "Jer, shall we dance?" And they did.
Mom and Dad gave us a beautiful memorial to our lost babies. It's gorgeous and I'll have to write more about it soon; not tonight.
We went geocaching.
Bre says, "I HOPE I just found the cache!"
Yes, she had.
Then we went to dinner....
Stacia loves dessert bars
I gave everyone one last Christmas gift....maybe the last. ::snort::
Back at home we played Outburst Jr. and Charades.
G'pa read
Jared as the Berlin Wall (the girls had a great idea for making a large family friendly Twister...we'll try to do that before the next Friday game night)
Mike as a volcano
He blew!
Jamin as a nun
Bre as a blow fish
Krista as a body boarder
De'Etta as "the Fonz"
Nolan - can't remember
Mike as Barbara Streisand (you had to be here)
Saying goodbye is hard and we'd appreciate your prayers as God leads tomorrow.
This little boy has been insisting ALL day that Bre and Krista are NOT leaving.
This mom is....

I am praying for your family. What a wonderful day you all had!
De'Etta, lots of prayers for your family today.
DeEtta,
I will be praying for you all today. What a fabulous visit you all had. Good-byes are hard. Praise God there are no final good-byes for those who serve the Lord.
So glad you had a nice vacation with them. I can't imagine having them leave for so far away.
Sounds like you guys really had fun! I'll bet the charades were hilarious! Those are one of those hard belly laughs with tears. Poor Zander! I would bet he would marry his sisters if he could, lol! As he gets older, this will be fun to look at. If they get married, that might be a little worse for him though. That is the aspect of homeschooling I love is the love of the siblings being each others friends.

Glad you were all able to have all that time together. I know how hard it is to say goodbye. We did this yesterday when we left Missouri and headed home. It still felt weird to leave Jordan there. I will be praying for you all as the girls head out tomorrow.
De'Etta, catching up on the last few days. What wonderful photos of your family. You sure packed it a lot of fun and family time.
Prayers tomorrow as your family seperates again. I'm sure it never gets easier.
