Kaitlynn, in particular, was really struggling without her Daddy around. Somehow the topic of roller skating came up, and I promised to take her to learn to skate as a way to get her mind off of missing Jeff. We went to a rink for little kids in Katy. It was too small for big kids but it turned out to be a good place for Kaitlynn to learn how to roller skate for the first time. She had a blast and I was so happy to see the big smiles.
Since we were operating under the assumption that we would be moving at the end of the year, I made sure to arrange several play dates for the kids to spend extra time with their closest friends. It was hard to think about moving away from such sweet friendships.
We were delighted to have a visit from Collin in the fall. He was in town for a visit and came over to clean out some of his things he had left behind. He had been working hard in North Dakota for a while and saving every penny earned. All that money was just burning a hole in his pocket and he had to spend it on a cool new toy. It looked quite out of place in our garage but it sure is pretty!
The kids are always so happy to have time with their brothers because we just don't see them very often. And because Collin was a good sport, the kids found a new game partner to take advantage of.
