All Alone Again

We took April and her girls to the airport this morning, Logan and I got passes to go through security and help her with the girls until she boarded the plane. Last night we packed them up and packed lunches for Halli and Peyton in their pink lunch boxes, which they immediately opened once we were through security. They were the last ones on the plane, and Halli and Peyton had fun running up and down the jetway, at one point Peyton's shoe came off and I went in to put it back on here, so of course, as soon as I came back the gal shut the door, but that didn't stop the girls from running up to the door and give us kisses through the glass.

April called when they got home and then called 1/2 hour later just to let us know that Peyton misses us. He kitten scratched her and she was upset and crying, running to the door to go to "Grandpa Home".


Missing Lexie

April was stripping the beds and putting away the playpen this morning, she said she was doing it because last time they were here, I was crying while cleaning up. But she can't ever get rid of the momentos left behind. Here's what I found while walking through the house this afternoon...and I'm not in a big hurry to clean it up either... and yes I cried.


Crushed Ritz crackers everwhere.

Lonley swings, no more morning swings while Grandpa fixes breakfast.

I found the Foot Loop necklace hanging on the cabinet door.

and one deflated Water Slide. :(

Oh, Shauna that's a sad ending. They'll be back soon enough or you could always plan another trip out here. We wouldn't complain. Also loved the pictures of you and Logan on Kate's blog. We stole a few and printed off they were that good!

It is sad when good things come to an end. I wish we could all live closer together.

I am so thankful that Kate and April are on top of their blogs. I will get my pictures posted, I'm just much slower than they are.

That was a sweet post, sad, but sweet. The girls miss you both! They are glad to be home, but they sure do love and miss grandma & Grandpa...I'll just have to do a better job cleaning up next time;)
Thanks for letting us come and destroy your home for a week.

The grandkids can't destroy this home,it's only improved when they come and leave behind a little but if themselves behind, I wouldn't want it anyother way.
