Mommy shouts, "Max, stop strangling your sister," To which Sophie replies "it's okay Mommy, I do not mind." I miss looking behind me and seeing my little chicks following. So much of this trip is centered around their adjustment to this new life. I pray we are making the right decisions.

I called my Mom and she said that everyone is doing fine. She forgets how much they eat and how picky Sophie has become. Such the purist.  Mom told me that they were at the park for hours when Max came running up to her saying "Nana, I think weather is blowing in, we should leave." Nana was enjoying herself spread out on her blanket and said "oh, we ' ll be okay."  About 20 minutes later she saw a family running to their car and Max said" I think it's a tornado. " Mom moved her little tush as quick as lightening into the car and back home. Welcome to Texas where the weather can turn on a dime!

My Mom also informed me that wasps had invaded the living room.  Lovely. She thinks they have made a nest in the chimney. I told her to turn the fireplace on and call the exterminator  which she had already done. Why of why do these things happen when we are thousands of miles away?

Mom keeps on assuring me that everything is fine. She is fine and kids are fine and Carolyn is off visiting friends. Ha. Miss you guys and love you to bits!
