Christmas Adventure 2013--Our Drive Home


We decided to change our route home since there was snow and more snow predicted in Eastern Oregon.  We were disappointed because we were looking forward to seeing Darin's fam and Kaytie's fam again as well as my good friend Kim--another Kim who was sick with the flu on our way down.  We also decided to drive through the night since Jason was hating car rides now.  Kate said she could drive with us and fly home that weekend.  So we left on the evening of the 1st and drove through the night.  I really wished we could have stopped in Sacramento but we had to decide between stopping and seeing people or having our toddler asleep most of the drive.  Having him asleep was mucho important to us.  Also, I really needed to get back for Sunday.  We drove to Oregon City and stayed there overnight and left the next morning.  We got home Friday the 3rd.  Having Kate with us was so nice.  We had help with the kids during the drive and also that weekend.  I got to get things put away and feel semi-organized before the busy-ness began again!  It was especially helpful to have her hold Evelyn on Sunday when I was helping with the new schedule at church where we meet with another congregation for one of the hours of church.  Today is January 17th and I just got the last of Christmas put away so it has been a little busy. 

These pictures show some cute kids who are happy was over.



 
We got the exersaucer out for Evelyn but big brother rediscovered it.



 
This picture is of a cute kid after Grandma left.  He was really sad.  About an hour after he went to bed, we walked by and found that he was crying again.  Poor kid.  But we're pretty glad he loves his grandparents so much.
