Up to Alli...

So Thomas and I may have left the country for a week....

ooooh that sounds so exotic doesn't it?

Well it's basically true we drove to Chicago, dropped of the kiddies at

and Grammy and GP's and took off as fast as we could....

Ha!

Now that sounds like fun.

Here are the emails I received from Alli letting me know what they were up to.

(I think we all appreciate this dialogue in the future, gramatical errors and all, so bare with me will ya?)

I finally received internet access Saturday morning and was so happy to receive these emails, it was a little treat for me to savor as we journeyed back to get our kids.  I have always said and will always say how grateful I am to have such wonderful inlaws.  My mother in law has always been a wonderful example to me of how a mother lives her life serving those she loves.
