Spring Break

Well, it's Spring Break, and I am working.  Since the girls are out of school this week, we took them to Nana and Pappy's house for the week.  This is certainly not the first time that they have spent time at their house or that they have been away from me, but I am definitely having the hardest time with this trip.  The girls were happy when we left, and they will have a fabulous time.  But, for some reason, I have struggled with leaving them there.  We were able to see their smiling faces on Skype last night, and that was great.  They had already been to the circus, so they gave us the full story on the circus.  Anna's favorite part was riding a horse.....apparently, if a special ticket is purchased, you can ride a horse at intermission!  She was very proud!!  They have other plans like going to a chocolate factory, visiting a Discovery Center, having tea with a French friend of Nana's, and checking out the plane that belongs to Pappy's company.  Lots of fun!!!

While we were in Springfield, we had dinner with my two step-brothers and their wives.  I haven't seen Casey and Chris in 10 years and had never met their wives.  Casey and his wife, Carrie, are expecting their first child and are so excited.  It brought back lots of memories of when we were first expecting Audrey.  Oh how things change once you become parents :)

Guess I should start the work day.....really wish I were still in bed asleep.  A flying trip to Springfield and back wore me out!!!!
