Best Buddies...

Fridays~ Oh its MAGIC

Beckie is long term subbing and has asked if I would come to her house on Fridays~ early~ to get Sarah on the bus and then to hang with Molly Carolyn all day! This will be until the end of the school year. Of course I said YES!

Today Molly and I put Sarah on the bus then ran to Walmart to pick up the movie TANGLED. If you have not seen this Disney movie yet... YOU MUST. Dave and I took Sarah and Molly to the movie show to see it and we LOVED it. Dave's comment was "Too bad that don't make our movies this entertaining!" ( We had recently seen some not so good movies) Molly was excited to get home and watch the movie again!

This Rapunzel has magic hair~ hair with healing powers.

Molly decided to twist her hair...
around and around...
"See, it's magic~ it makes you smile!", she said!
Molly you are the sweetest thing! Meme loves you and I think you should never, never, never, cut your hair...

just "HIM" it a little ok?

No, I mean TRIM it a little!!

What a day...

My girl and her boy...
along with this little gem,
loaded this big truck today. Cyle and Tom worked hard packing all this little families belongings on the truck.
Cayden was excited to see this BIG TRUCK filled with all their things! I told Bri to leave with the Cyle and the truck and that I would do some cleaning at the house for her!
Cayden didn't understand why Meme wasn't going to "Van Werk" in his car too.

Hugs and kisses. Tears. And off they went. Tears...

I stayed behind with Molly, who helped me cry.

She kept saying "Goodbyes are so hard, aren't they Meme?"

She cleaned with me and we cried some more when we went into Cayden's playroom and saw his little chalkboard with his name still written on it. We looked in the Jungle room and felt sad it was empty. Molly saw her old crib up in Mya's room and wondered..."Where will Mya sleep tonight?" I assured her Mya had her own crib in Van Wert, "don't worry" and we laughed and said Cayden always says that to us!! Don't Worry!

I came home to find comments on my blog from sweet friends, Roxi, Gina, Sheila, Nancy~ Thank You!

I found these beautiful flowers on my counter with a note that said...

BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST AT MAKING LEMONADE OUT OF LEMONS......

Thinking of you and I love you,

Meig

Thank you Meigan!

A cheery phone message from Roxi~ Thank you Roxi!

Dave assuring me it would all be ok. Reminding me how Cayden will love growing up where he can run around outside and play in the woods! Thanks honey!

Texts from Beckie and Donny~ I love you too!

Sweet phone call from Molly and Sarah~ Meme loves you so so much!

Then the text from Bridget,

with this picture...

and this word-

HOME :~)

All is well.

Sharing Our Love~

We spent the last few days together, knowing these two love bugs will be moving Thursday.
Cayden told Molly ~ "Come to Van Werk and play with me!"
Sarah can't wait to visit Cayden and Mya to help Aunt Doodie! She loves to hold Mya and read stories to Cayden.
Cayden gets to play with Uncle Danny.
Aunt BB spends time with Mya Brynn!
Molly shares some love with Mya~
Papa gets some playtime on the floor... while Cayden rides like a cowboy, and Molly gives Mya some hair!!
Tomorrow is the big day! I am hoping all goes smoothly and without a hitch! I will spend some more time playing with Mya and Cayden while the truck is loaded~

Cayden says...
"I'm a country boy"

It's a very exciting time for my Bridget and Cyle, a new chapter! I just keep thinking about little Cayden's personality... his outgoing nature, his friendliness, his heart and I think to myself....

Yep... he'll make a mighty fine "good ole boy"

Check out Bri's blog! Cute pics!

One day, you will not want to hold my hand anymore...

Danny... I recently shared this story with some friends. When you were a little boy, you always wanted to hold my hand. I loved it but I would tell you, as you grew...
"One day, you will not want to hold my hand anymore." Your little face would look up at mine and say... "No Mommy, I will always hold your hand."

As you got older, it became a game between us. I would take your hand and you would look at me and say...
"It's not going to be today Mom." You melted my heart then, and you still do!
I love you so much.

The man that you are, the boy that you were...

I know if I needed to hold your hand~ you would be there for me!

Happy 26th Birthday ~ I love you! The future is shining bright in front of you!

Days of Plenty...

The BIG News is this...

Cyle and Bridget are moving to Van Wert Ohio!

I keep telling myself ~ It is only 3 hours away!

I keep telling myself ~ I will be freed up to travel more, to see Layla Lynn more, to get to Florida more, etc. since I won't be watching Cayden and Mya any more while Bridget and Cyle work.

I keep telling myself ~ I will see them often, since they are keeping Cayden's orthopedic doctor here in town and of course they will travel "Home" to see Meme, Papa, Aunt BB, Uncle Donny, Sarah, Molly, & Uncle Danny!

So I have had the kids alot lately. Cyle went to Van Wert to prepare the house there and the kids stayed with Dave and I while Bridget worked. These are the Days of Plenty....

Plenty of this little face.... Mya Brynn,
and this little face... Townsend Cayden!
Think I will miss them?

Sarah, Molly and Aunt BB came over on Thursday night and Sarah did some crafting with Cayden!
She taught him how to use a glue stick...
A perfect teacher and a perfect student!
Cayden and Mya stayed overnight Friday and Saturday. Cayden got in lots of Papa time!
Cyle is from Van Wert, so this is exciting for both of them to be moving "Home". They will live in the house Cyle grew up in, the city where is friends and family still live. Bridget got a job at Van Wert County Hospital, in surgery, and starts Monday April 4th. She interviewed on Monday March 21st and got the call the next day! The moving truck comes Thursday. I am happy for them, as they are all so very excited!

Me, oh, not so happy for me.

More Changes...

Our home in Florida is having yet another update! This is the master bath...
This is the master bath after the guys do their demolition! Bob, Ken, Rick and Dave started the process after the rest of the golfing buddies went home last week!

Ken and Bob headed home and Larry came in to do the tile work with Dave! Dave is given the cutting job!

Larry does the tile work...

These two are quite the team!

The shower is looking good!
WOW!

Floor tiles done too!

Jeanette came in to spend some time with Larry~ They will travel to visit her mom once Larry is finished up in the bathroom! Dave stayed an extra day to help get it done, then left the rest in Larry's capable hands!

Rick left my house, after the shower weekend and his birthday celebration, on Monday~ just as Dave got home! What a crazy life~ coming and going~ who's on first? HA!

When Rick got home he went down to my house and shot this video!

I can't wait to get there to see it myself! Only 23 days till we all get together there for Easter! Layla will meet all her cousins~ We can hardly wait!

Keeping Warm...Mya style!

On St Patrick's day my Meme got me some Leg Warmers...They did not match with my clover onesie.But they are so cute!
They did fit me and feel so cozy...
See, they look so good, don't you think so too?

Say YES or watch out!
