Allen left for Kentucky last night. He left me all alone to do a brief stint at single parenting. God bless the single parents in this world because it is really hard. Having said that, all in all, it went quite well. Last night Lindsay and Bjork came home to join us for a night at the movies. We went to Madagascar 2 and it was a big hit. Thanks guys, for joining us!!
Today was a busy day. We spent much of the day with my friend Roxanne and her daughter, Greta. Greta lives on a farm so this was an added treat. Not only that, she and her husband have THREE boys who love to play, play, play! Our kids played hard both inside the house and outside. Rodrigo especially loved the roosters. He is no stranger to these birds as his house parents would let Rodrigo feed the two roosters that they had at the shelter. It was fun for us to get to know this family better and we loved the outing!
This evening, the boys, Steph and her friend Jess went to the Snowflake Parade. (Roselyn was at a friend's house.) It was a new experience, but yes, very cold! We stayed for about half of the parade and then bailed... I brought the boys back to the house and introduced them to the hot tub! It felt SOOOO hot to them that they stood in knee deep water for a few minutes before actually dipping into the water. Once they made the plunge, they loved it!! They asked if we can go again tomorrow morning.
My one day of flying solo was ok I guess, but it makes me so very thankful that I am part of a team.

Oh Mary, we just love you and your kids! I was in Camby on Saturday at my parents house and Romeo and Rigo stopped over to say hi. They are so cute-and good memories, too. Romeo immediately asked where Eric was, and he also asked when Annika's birthday was. I'm sure they have met a billion people, so I was very impressed that he remembered Eric and I go together. We are praying for you and your kids often through this transition!
Love,
AJ
Mary! You and your family are welcome anytime out at our farm....next time we will get Allen to hold a chicken and collect the eggs!:) I know exactly what to do with the boys, it's the two teenage girls that I am not familiar with! It was fun for me to spend time getting to know Steph and Roslyn better too ! We hope to have many more times with you and your "crew" at the Schimming home. We see this as a great learning experience (life experience)for our family and what great discussions we have had as a family as our boys get to know and spend time with your kiddos. John and I are excited to be a part of the boys "teaching" each week at First B...you are a blessing to us! Greta
