Getting ready.

Tonight John has started packing for his trip to Germany to visit Bodo (his dad).  I wish I could go with him, but I just couldn't do it.  We can't leave the kids alone for THAT long.  

I wanted to say thank you to my parents for how awesome they are.  They help us out a lot and we really appreciate it.  We have been so blessed that we have their support.  THANK YOU.

Also, I wanted to thank Gogo for offering to pay for John's passport and ticket so he can go over to Germany.  We are very fortunate to have this opportunity for John to go.  It really means a lot to him to go see his dad.  THANK YOU.

While I'm on the subject, I need to tell Kristie thank you for helping John and I with John's latest photo shoot endeavor.  He is in a contest on worth1000.com for photography and has made it through the first round.  I'm so proud that he keeps improving and using his talents.  He is such a great photographer and teaches me to look at things differently.  Here is his picture he won with, the contest was for "Chaos".  He was supposed to enter a photograph that depicted the look/feeling of chaos.  He won that round and is moving onto round 2.  I don't want to spoil which photo is his.
