Birthday week-end with Mom

Megan flew to town Friday afternoon and the kids were quite excited about that. Drew was certain that every plane that flew above us that morning was mommy's plane! The kids and I picked her up at the airport. That evening we went to Fatso's to celebrate Kayley's belated birthday and then back home for gift opening and birthday cake.

Yesterday we met Lisa, Nick, Dan and Taylor at Peter Piper Pizza. It was so great to see them one last time before we leave. I will see them again next fall and winter but Megan and the kids won't be seeing them very often now so it was good we all made the effort to get together!

During her short week-end stay Megan is trying to help Andy pack things that they will need in Peoria. Their stuff on the trucks will be unavailable for a couple of months so it is important that they gather the items they need for the short term.

Megan flies back to Peoria this afternoon but it won't be such a hard separation this time. Andy and the kids and Sox and I begin our driving trip this Wednesday and they will be in Peoria with her by next Saturday. I am staying in Omaha an extra day before heading to the farm to help Matt do some landscaping on his new home.
