Kids these days

My oldest two kids left at 6:00 AM for a week long missions trip to New York City.

At 9:00 AM, my phone rings.
Me: "Hello"
Voice on the other end:" The eagle has landed."

I guess they got there safely.....

    Oh Kate that is just too funny. They wanted their mom to know they were safe but no time to chat with New York to see. hahaha
    Been thinking a lot of you and Libbie this week. Since my job loss I have spent two weeks of pondering things and you two kept entering my mind.
    I hope you are enjoying every minute of your short summer.
    We are in the worse drought ever and you can barely go outside long enough to check the mail...lol So yep I hate to say it but I am ready for FALL not winter just fall.
    Picky aren't I.
    Anyway just had to come by and check on you and send my love
    Maggie

    Love it, "The Eagle has landed!" :)

    I've been pondering a trip to NYC with my two younger children and maybe dh if I could drag him to a city that big. There's so much to do and see there. I hope whatever mission they are working on goes well and that they have a life enriching time!

    Dd#1 is heading out to CA next Wednesday to see her boyfriend graduate from the Marines basic training. She's pretty excited. This is her first big trip without us, even though she's going out with boyfriend's mother and aunt, it's still a new venture for all of us. Then they all return home, including the Marine - for 10 days. The rest of August will fly by!

    Kate,
    Your family is just as funny as you are! What a good thing for them to do. I remember Katie doing Habitat in various places at that age. I was always sure she was going to fall off a roof. She didn't!
    Hugs,
    Suz

    So I am a week late for this but I love their humor... reminds me of their mom! You must be so incredibly proud of the big loving hearts that they have. They are probably on the way home now, I'm wishing them safe travels with many amazing stories to share! t. xooxoxxoxoox
