Silly me!

So I completely forgot to mention in my last post (of extremely random blurbs of information), that while we have decided to leave the kids here while we go to China, exactly WHOM we will be leaving them with!?!
Who else, but my WONDERFUL, DARLING, BLESSED, GEM OF A SISTER, of course! That's who!!
I can't tell you what enormous peace that brings me. To know my children will be in the care of someone who not only loves me very much, but would throw herself in front of a moving bus for my children if she had to!

And to know they will be in their own environment- plus, to have their cousins here to play with too. They are going to have a blast! Shoot- they'll probably be happy we're leaving!

So I am just so super grateful to my sister for making this long trip out here, once again, to be here for me in my time of need.

I love you so much, sissy.
Thanks a million.
Jen
P.S. I'll be sure to stock up on Nutty Bars and Paydays, okay?

Oh Jen, you are so sweet!
But you should know, I can only eat Nutty Bars with you! Hasn't that always been the rule about Nutty Bars?
Plus, I'm still sort of full from eating that house. It was delicious! Who cares if I had to buy bigger jeans!
Well, I am SO excited and SO blessed and SO thankful for your trust in me. It really means the world. And yes, I would throw myself in front of a moving bus for your children, though I hope it doesn't come to that. After eating that house, I think the bus might come off worse.

Love You,
Jen

Oh Jen, I'm laughing so hard, I'm CRYING!!!

Okay, compose yourself!

You are right about the Nutty Bars, and I almost said that, but then I thought you might want to eat them while I'm gone and PRETEND I was there with you, eating them too!

Hey, that gives me an idea! We can bring Nutty Bars to China with us, and we can eat our Nutty Bars together while we Skpe eachother!

Nah, that won't be as fun as sitting next to each other, vegging in front of a movie, ever so slowly peeling those Nutty Bar wrappers off, and methodically eating those delicious little crispy, creamy, chocolately, peanut buttery treats one layer at a time. Mmmm... life doesn't get much better than that.
Guess we'll have to do that before we leave, AND when we get back!

No, I'm loving the Skype and Nutty Bar idea! Clint would probably keel over from our weirdness! I guess we'll have to just make sure to squeeze one in before you leave.
And when I say squeeze, I'm not kidding. I'm SO fat from eating that house.

Love,
Jen

Hi Jen!
I bet you are just like a little kid around Christmas time? I know you must be so excited with this news. Your journey to bring Kelly home is almost here.. WOW!! How thrilling and wonderful. I am giddy in excitement with you! And with all the wonderful stories I have heard about your sister, how fitting that she will be watching your kids while you travel to get Kelly. I am sure she is more than honored to help you out and what a comforting feeling for you knowing they are in such good hands! All our best! We look forward to hearing more updates. We love you all.

Love,

Deb

You guys, I love it!! Listening to you makes me really miss being around the 2 of you and all of the wonderful silliness, play, and so much love! I am praising God for you and for us as a family, so why am I starting to cry?! I love you!!
