road trip in progress

the kids and i have been trucking around visiting my friends for the past week, and we've finally settled at kristi's for a while. our five kids actually took their nap all at the same time, so kristi and i enjoyed some time hanging out this afternoon after a delicious japanese lunch! i've clocked over 1,000 miles on my good ole' van so far, and the kids have been pretty good travelers (we all get tired of being in the car eventually, don't we??). thanks to friends to call and chat with on the drive and john piper, the drive to my destinations has been easier that i'd imagined. i have so much to share from our trip thus far (as well as ethan's bday pictures and 4th of july). so hopefully i'll be able to catch you all up soon. we're having a great time, and yes, grandmother, i've been on my phone almost the WHOLE time i've been driving!! gotta pass the time! :)

brian, we love you and miss you! thanks for letting us be gone so long!

I've been praying you to every stop! Glad you've arrived safely at each one. Missing you all SO much but happy for you that the trip is going well. Hug those kiddos for me!

What wonderful pictures. The birthady party looks like so much fun. I know mommy and Gram worked hard on this one. Emily, you are one brave girl to start on a trip that long with the two kids by yourself. Glad you made it to Kristi"s and will be praying for you on the way back home. love you all, Aunt Norma
