Today.....

I told a friend who called tonight that I guess we are going to continue to feel like we are making no progress whatsoever and then all of a sudden it will all be done. LOL

Bre is back in Spokane. Do pray for Bre. The company she works for is closing their mall outlets and so her plans are up in the air.

Josiah, Jared and Krista worked all day at the house.

Mike went to the office.

I took the little ones for a last playdate with the A family.

I got my wedding ring and my new ring resized. Oh, I don't think I've blogged about Sunday yet. ::snort::

Sunday after chapel we had a farewell dinner. It was sweet and touching....and I still hate goodbyes. ::snort::

We then went to have family photos taken. I'll upload some of our favorites when I can get photos to upload. Heather took the photos with our camera....this took care of the pack the tripod delima and allowed her to play with a Nikon digital. ::grin:: We got rained on, but did get some good photos. In my favorite family photo we noted that Stacia and Zander are messing with the older boy's hair...so we are still debating which will be "the one". LOL

THEN Mike took us to DQ. The kids gave me a Mother's Ring. I was totally surprised and blown away. I love it. It will be a tangible piece of them that I can take with me. I laughed. I cried. They snapped photos. LOL

Back to today...Mike came to the house after work and he, Josiah, Krista and Jared are still working. I made two trips to Lowes. I really don't like Lowes. They aren't the most helpful in this store and I ALWAYS end up with the wrong gadget that has to be returned and a new one searched for.

I'm not sure how long they'll be at the house. Josiah is making noise of an all nighter to get it DONE. LOL

I have zillions of photos but I can't seem to get a good enough connection to load them.

Choosing Joy!

AH.. how sweet of them to get you a mother's ring! I have one, but my family bought it for me before we had our 4th (LOL) so I don't wear it.

WOW! Awesome gift. I sure remember how I felt when you kids got me one. Bet it is beautiful with all the stones. What a treasure. Looking forward to seeing it when you pass thru.

Yep, I got one about 11 years ago but it only has 6 of the kids. This one is great.
