Back in the USA

I made it back to Logan! Nothing is better than returning to my sweet children. I missed them terribly and wish they were all back with me now.

(USU where I taught)
Rebekah had a nice time staying with the Parker's (without whom could I be in Logan for the summer). She also enjoyed hanging out with the Willie's for late night movies and a sleep over. She was well cared for though she was homesick for her mom.

Kristine, Isabella and Ramsey wrapped up their Yellowstone trip with their Dad and are back in Logan. I got to see them today for a couple of hours for lunch... this is so heart wrenching. Their dad works this week, but will not let the kids be with me - his mom will be babysitting. They were so over-the-moon to see me today and very frustrated by the fact that they couldn't stay with me and Rebekah. But there is nothing we can do at this point. The kids should be able to come back to me this weekend and then just 2 weeks to go! (Please keep us in your prayers.)

The last 2 weeks the children will all come and play with us during the day, while their dad works and then go back to him in the evenings... that will make the last couple of weeks much more tolerable. Besides, y'all know how much fun we have when we are together!!!!

We have managed to have quite a bit of fun in the first few weeks we were in Logan (Jun 20 - now): we have tubed the canal, played at the damn, gone to movies, spent a day at Lagoon (loved the water park), seen oodles of friends, gone to Idaho,

gone shooting (okay, that was just me) and more. (Shot the tar out of these phone books)

So, for now I am happy to be back and know that my children are safe. And I am looking forward to having a blast these next couple of weeks. Anyone want to come and play???
