Well it’s about time your home!
Well after a long journey through the lines of the DFW airport customs department we are finally back. The kids were all very happy to see us and have been shadows since we walked in the door. They were well taken care of while we were gone by Joanne and Glen so they have nothing to whine about, but that’s not stopping them.
Now that I’m home it’s time to get back into the swing of things and jump back into my little monster of a project. The team I left in charge did manage to finish most of the things I left, but then I figured it was too much anyway. I’m looking to have this monster tamed and put to rest by tomorrow, a lofty goal I know. We’ll see how it goes. It’s not due until Monday anyway.
Although Jamaica was a ton of fun I did miss talking to Bonnie. We have started a routine of talking with each other and it was strange to not have that call everyday.
I had a few firsts while in Jamaica, starting with shopping for a 7 year old, Luke. All week long I was stealing glances at kids and their parents trying to see what an average boy that age would wear. I ended up with something I hope he likes and can actually use, not just the typical t-shirt. Hannah is 14, very artistically talented and mature for her age and was much more difficult to shop for. I’m still wondering if I went the right direction. Bonnie on the other hand was easy … lol 
I just need to come home and keep moving forward in the direction we have talked about. Of course, she has some presents too, but it’s nice to be loved again.
The best presents I could give would be honesty and trust. I guess that goes for everyone too. You know, I might be flying blind here and this is so new to me, but I am having fun. I only hope I can exceed or live up to any preconceived notions the kids might have about me. Then again the bar hasn’t exactly been set in too challenging of a position. In this situation I almost have a built in barometer and an example of what not to do. Plus I’ve always thought that if the average moron can bring up a child successfully then I should be alright. Words I am sure to eat eventually … 
Have a good day kids … and Mom.

I think we made up for the past week last night on the phone..lol. I woke up this morning thinking about the presents I sent you and some poor unsuspecting mr peters last night…I have to laugh about it..because when I start thinking about it seriously..I’m horrified. What if he’s a child!!!!! Anyway, lesson learned..save the address and use it! Don’t type it in!!!! You are a blessing to me. And I am thankful for you everyday!
