MY LIFE WITHOUT MY DAD...

...is the title of the book Pyper is writing.  I think it's important to mention that he hasn't left yet.  She's pretty sure her life will end.  It's gonna be a long 5 weeks.  We decided to spend the day with Dale- you know- so we have something to remember him by.  He leaves tomorrow.  Wish us luck.  And a few prayers for my sanity wouldn't hurt.
We went to the Children's Museum.  I wasn't super impressed... but Crew LOVED it.  It's nice to let him tear through something other than my living room.  It was a little young for the girls- which is why I don't have many pictures of them.  (not because I like Crew better... Although... sometimes I do... They all take turns... Sometimes I don't like Crew at all... Depends on the day I guess.)  LOVE HIM!  (almost always:) )

This is Elle's impromptu sword fight with some random boys.  Pyper is really embarrassed.  She doesn't believe in making random friends.


Dale was impressed with Pyper's "grocery girl" skills.  Maybe it's in her future.  Dream big Pipe.  We plan to drop Dale off at the airport with as little drama as possible.  Yeah right.  I've already warned the dance teachers (making sure they have my cell # in case they need to just send her home) Tomorrow I warn the school teachers.  Pray for us all.

Meghan, you are such a great Mom! You can handle ANYTHING! I was looking through some old letters from way back when...and I found a few that you had written me! Do you remember a leap frog sticker and you wrote "whoa whoa leap frog" I couldn't stop laughing!! Those were some great memories! Love & Miss ya!! Kim

Hope it all goes well Meghan! We'll have to get together sometime soon. Cute pics...did you guys get a membership to that place? I wonder if it's a reciprocal with COSI here in Columbus? I think your kids would really like COSI. Ours love it.

Oh man, I could just squeeze your little Crew! He was so good at our house (honestly!) and it only took about two minutes for him and Jack to be having fun together. Good luck with Dale gone. Drop Crew off ANYTIME!! Justin was mesmerized by how much hair he has. We loved watching him and Jack dance to the music from Dancing with the Stars! He's a cutie!

I wasn't very impressed with that museum either. It is crowded, cramped, humid, old and it smells weird - and it cost our family like $48 to go there. I don't think we will be going back but my kids had fun. Sorry you have to be single mom for 5 weeks. We have done that before but not for that long. Good luck. Please let me know if I can help you. Your kids are welcome ANY time!
