Gonna miss this...

My sweet little sister spent the evening with us Monday. I made one of her favorite dishes for dinner and she joyfully agreed to watch the boys while I went to my bible study meeting. I know Jack had an awesome time with her, her puppy Cash and even got some screen time with his Uncle Jonathan. We will be thrilled to have my brother-in-law home in August, but unfortunately his appearance will be short-lived. He's off again in September to Mannheim, Germany, and this time he's taking his lovely bride with him. (Yah for them; Boo for us!) Somehow while caring for two nephews this evening, Em managed to download Yahoo Messenger on my laptop and then showed me how to use the video call feature. With a 3+ year assignment, I imagine I'll get pretty good at it. I know she's counting down the days until her hubby's return, and we are too...but for different reasons. Thanks again for watching the boys. Looking forward to your last day of post planning in 9 days; we're going to squeeze a lot in these next couple of months!

This made me tear up...thinking about your parents and letting their baby girl go live in Germany. What an incredible experience for her!!! Before children- just her & her new husband. As hard as it will be because you guys will miss her like crazy...encourage her to enjoy every single second! Wow! At least you have a cool place to visit, right?

i can only imagine what it must feel like to have your little sis live on the other side of the atlantic! but i do have to say that video chats are a great way to trick your mind that she isn't far away. we skype with lots of family every chance we get. we will be praying for sweet times for you guys.
