I say it has been a while...

So, I say it has been quite a while since my last post. So many things have happened and so many memories have been made.
We sent Dad off this morning for his second trip to Africa. This time to see the wonderful orphanages our church has planted in the Kenya area. I am so excited for him and so jealous as well. It is kind of funny how this morning I was ok with him going and now I much I miss him. The boys were so cute taking him to the airport this morning. They truly were not interested in him beacuse of the marathon that was being run on the usual route to the airport. They wanted to get him on the plane and go see the "wace". Funny how Mom is thinking of all the things that can go wrong and they are running around the airport saying "Wets go see the wace, MOM!!! MOOOOOOM, wets go see the wace!!" So we got Dad sent and went and saw the race. Well, being that it was a marathon there were about 5 people we actually saw. Jackson says, "well that was no fun. Lets go find another one. When I get big I will wun a wace and wear my Dad's hat and running shoes, K, Mom?" Then Lukie pipes up and says, "hey, wheres dad?" Telling him about the whole airport thing, he says, "Oh, tan we doe bat and dit him?" "well, not for a few weeks sweetie." "Tay" he says. "Mom, maybe we tan doe bat tomowow and dit him, tay?" Never quite got the whole two week thing. I think he has said that about 20 times today. Sweet boys, they will miss him, but they are also excited about all the stories he will tell them about the "Afwitan Tids" as Lukie says. Jackson told me today that he will be an "African man when he is bigger and teach the people all about how good Jesus is and football. Ha! The important things in life.
