I have yet to post pictures of our vacation and my sister's visit, but I just had to share this one, kind of sad, conversation I had with Maelie
Maelie: Mom, when I grow up I'm going to live far away.
Me (very hurt and sad): Why?
Maelie: Because you live far away from your mom.
Me: Well, what if I move closer to my mom someday?
Maelie: Then I'll visit you at your moms.
It must be so hard for parents to let their kids leave. I want them all to live next door to me! I'm glad I have many years before that day comes, but I know it's going to go fast. After that conversation I realized I probably won't have all my kids live near me forever (I wish, but it's not likely) so I'm going to cherish every moment I have with them now. Yes, even changing the poopies.

That thought makes me sad. Kindergarten is still a year away and that makes me sad to think about.
Glad to have seen you guys at Palmyra. Hope you are doing great.
All I was thinking through that conversation was Carter starts Kinder in about 5 days. I can't believe how much they have grown. I don't want to let my kids go. Hey, if you have Lisa Johnsons email or if Lisa sees this send me an email to mary_rodgers@yahoo.com. I only use this email for spam, but I do check it.
