This past week was such an unexpected week! Our plans were out the window and the only thing that didn't change was that Robert spent the week at scout camp. He absolutely loved every minute of it, and frankly wasn't all that excited to be home. He was surprisingly unenthusiastic about our big news, but I think that was due in part to the fact that a) he was EXHAUSTED and b) he hasn't been in the house yet so while he may be pleased we are moving closer to his school, he isn't excited about the house itself.
Catherine and Thomas were absolute troopers through the week. They had to sit through house showings and meetings with the realtor and banks and then sit patiently and respectfully as the only children at the funeral service and reception on Friday. They were very, very, very well behaved and we are very proud of them. We took them to Steak 'n Shake for dinner on Friday as a treat, but even then they had to wait until 9:00 to eat dinner because Andrew was sealing the drive way.
Today we are heading east to take the kids to my in-laws. Originally we were all going to be gone for three days, but with everything happening we changed our plans. Andrew and I will be back in the morning, then we'll meet my in-laws Wednesday morning and get the kids. Robert, ever the teen, was pleased to learn he still had a few more days being parent free coming his way!
This time next week Andrew and Thomas will be headed to scout camp, and in two weeks we'll be on vacation. In three weeks we will have just returned from the beach and in five weeks it will be the day before school starts. In six weeks, we will hopefully have moved. WOW!
