Empty Nest?

On Wednesday March 7th Teagan and Hayley flew into Gatwick Airport to spend two weeks with my parents.
This past weekend they took the Chunnel to Paris, for a visit of all the famous sites.

They will also tour parts of London, including a personal tour of The Houses of Parliament. They will spend some time in a local school and all in all just have a great time.

The girls are also getting to meet my side of the family for the first time. My sister in law, Jenny, took the girls along with her son Michael to a local Mickey D's where they enjoyed ice cream. As you can see, Michael loves his!


On Friday night, March 9th my mother-in-law, Star, drove in from Carrollton, to take the little boys to spend a week with her and Richard. On Saturday they spent some time at a PT Cruiser show. They have a busy week ahead of them as well.

This leaves the house empty all day until Terry and Warrick return in the evening from their respective jobs. I believe this is the first time in almost three years that we have had this amount of time away from the kids! Yesterday after church Terry and I went out for lunch and our bill was tiny in comparison to what it would normally be!

i guess in a way this is a harbinger of days yet to come when all the kids move out. Feels weird, but it was nice to have Terry all to myself again - even if it is just for a few days.
