Catching Up - Continued

Tim walked out the door with suitcase in hand. He'd be gone ten days in Mexico with our youth group on a missions trip. I sat in my bed with tears streaming down my face already missing my husband and wondering how I was going to survive with a newborn and preschooler. Gabrielle was 5 weeks at the time. So, we packed up. Oh, yes we packed up what seemed to be the entire house and headed over to Mimi and Papa's for a few days.

Papa might be a grown man but he plays like a kid.
Samuel slept well after hours of fun on the trampoline.

Gabrielle thought Papa was entertaining too!

We caught the 4th of July parade with the most of Tim's family. He and his cousin were having a blast. Samuel ate tons of kettle corn, and candy. A rare treat that when combined with 85 degree heat and a skipped nap produced a pretty good melt down. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

Aunt Carrie drove home with us and helped me to not lose my mind for another few days. Mimi also came out. Thank You So Much!!!

And so we survived the 10 days without Daddy. It was worth the sacrifice when heaven touches earth. Please link to Amanda's blog to read some awesome testimonies of God at work! You'll be amazed!!!
