So Jourdan left today for the great state of Ohio. I tracked him on Delta's flight tracker and watched him land. It was a bit of a heart jerker to see that my first-born son was 1500 miles away from home. He is, as we are, excited that the time has arrived for him to finally leave. It was a bit hard for me today. Something with the fact that we are not looking at the same mountains anymore, he is in a different time zone and I have no reference point when it comes to Ohio. Well he is in the Lords hands now and I know he will be fine, it is just that those apron strings are bleeding a bit from being cut today.

Now we look forward to hearing about his experiences in Ohio.....Can't wait for that first letter!

Labor Day

On Labor Day we had a family picnic with the whole family including Jeanette. It was great to have the family together again. After dinner the kids played a game of Bocce ball. Then we all played 4-square. Andrew had never played before but he soon cought on and was soon the King of the square! He does play a good round of pac-man that really gets Meilin laughing. The evening ended with chalk drawings on the front walkway, a fun remembrance of the evining. Only bad thing it rained during the night and it was gone before morning.
