HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

Well we are back in Indy. We got in about 7:30pm last night and we were all
thouroughly exhausted. Mom Tomes had dinner ready for us (homecooked food and fresh tortillas made by my sister-in-law Maria) a nice treat after eating out all week. Too tired to update everyone last night.

We had a good time shopping today just the sister-in-laws and me and our little tag-a-long Caleb. The husbands and two oldest grandkids (Tyler and Kevin) went to the driving range and Grandma and Becca stayed at home. We all came over here to Sarah and Jack's house for a very late lunch or early dinner (4pm) however you want to look at it. Played a little x-box and watching a cute movie Hotel for Dogs. My sister in law Sarah has been gracious enough to let me use her laptop this week of which I am very grateful.

The kids are supposed to be staying with Grandma and Grandpa for the next two weeks. Caleb started last Saturday night with the water works that he didn't think he could stay. He's done better not thinking about it this week but who knows what tomorrow will bring when Daddy and I leave. I have a feeling he won't stay. Uncle Jack says Tyler can stay as long as he wants and he will bring him home but no babysitter for Caleb. So Tyler is out of luck if Caleb doesn't stay.

I am missing my family this 4th. We never spend a Holiday apart. This is the first one since I was in 11th grade in high school. I am not liking it so much. God has been so good to bless me with wonderful in-laws and I do enjoy spending time with them. (Think I am getting homesick after a week of vacation). Now I know what Lee feels like as he spends every holiday away from his family. I had to put my selfish needs aside and give at least one holiday this year.

Time is up for vacation and it is back to the work field on Monday. Boo Hoo!! Jack (my brother-in-law) was nice enough to download some music on a chip he got for me at Walmart for my phone so at least now I don't have to get an Ipod. Yea. Life is good and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. Can't wait to get back home to see my Doodlebug, Apple blossom, Buddy, and Little Man. (That would be Tray, Anna, Trevor, Trent). And of course my oldest niece (Pam). I miss all of you. C-ya tomorrow. TTFN.
