Anyways sorry for the lack of posts but between July 29th and August 4th Sam, Sarah and I took a roadtrip to Oregon to visit Gail, Troy and the kids with stops up and back to see my parents, my grandfather, cousin, Mike, and San Francisco (Sarah had never been before). We took a ton of pictures which I sent out through Kodak Gallery as there were really too many for the blog. If you didn't get them and want to see them, let me know, and I'll send you the link.
Since we returned, I've been focused on getting Sam and Sarah packed and prepared (physically and emotionally) to move to London to live with their dad. Four days ago I started this post - I think when the reality that they were moving really set in and the large part they have played in my life the last two years and especially the last two months. They have taught me so much and shown so much maturity in dealing with all of these life changes and given me a great trial run at raising teenagers.
Anyways tonight is the night that they head to London - 12 hours. Its been a sad few days for all of us. Please join me in praying that Sam and Sarah will be safe, strong and comforted in all these changes and for Dan, their dad, that he will have wisdom, strength and patience in this new change in his life.
Some pics from a little going away party we had for them with some of the adults that had been close to them and Brigitte. I let them each bring 3 friends and didn't really get any pictures of the adults.
Sarah's friends (Danielle, Natasha, Andie) - can you believe they are only 14?
Sam and his friends being boys.
Natasha and Andie got Sarah a going away present - Tiffany bracelet engraved with each of their initials of their first names.
