It's about time to move...
Adrianne wanted me to post a couple things today. The first is that I was released today. "Hallelujah!", according to Adrianne. The second thing is that I am back from my trip to California. I was in Santa Ana for 2 days last week (I traveled Tuesday and Friday, so gone for 4 days). It was nice--warm and pleasant. I saw more fancy cars in those two days than I expect are in all of Oklahoma. We went to the beach and I got to visit my parents and my mom's parents. It was nice and sad. Grandpa had a stroke in December and now doesn't remember things very well. My parents are out there getting the house ready to accommodate grandpa and and his new health problems.
Another thing I want to mention: We got a 2 screen DVD player system for the van for our coming trip. I'm excited that we might be able to distract the children for fairly long periods of time during the trip...except for Eli.

So can I be nosy and ask if they've replaced you yet, Mike? I'm sure Adrianne is super pleased to have a bit more time with you. :)
Brooke--we're really excited to see how long we can keep the kids happy. Hopefully it will be long enough to prevent us from strangling them.
We love our dvd player for the car. We put one screen in the far back seat and one in the middle seat so all the kids can see it. Long trips are still not fun, but much easier. If only we could install an ice cream machine, a bathroom and a self clean mode...
I love the photo of the pelican! (As you would have guessed.)
Mom C.
I am so glad that you got to go and see Grandpa. I am sure it meant a lot to Mom and Grandma, even if Grandpa didn't remember who you were. Thinking that we may someday be mom in that situation scares me to death!
Can't wait to see you.
