Our dear friends are about to move to Texas and while I've been in denial for the past couple of months it will be happening very soon. This week Tink will be on Fall Break from her Thursday school (homeschool enrichment program) and I decided to ask Emma to come home with us after choir on Wed. night. The girls were so excited. Actually, those words don't begin to describe their emotions. Luckily, we didn't tell them until Tues. or I think they would have burst with emotions at a longer wait. When we woke up Wed. morning Tink asked AT BREAKFAST when it was going to be getting dark. She knew that Emma would come home with us after dark. I hate that I haven't done this for the girls sooner. But we'll be doing it again for sure. They talked and giggled (in very quiet voices) until after 1030pm. And this morning they were up at 7:00am. I feel an afternoon nap coming on!! I cooked them chocolate chip pancakes this morning and now they are settling in for a movie. What a wonderful time with a special friend!
Oh, by the way...Man-Man was able to sleep with Mommy last night and have special time. I cooked him a cookie and let him watch a few minutes of Diego (after the debate was over of course). He felt special! Yes, I had a sleepover while DH was out of town. "I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me!" :) :) :)
