Times are Changing!

Wow, what a crazy week! So much has happened in the last week. Chris getting a new job has been the focus of our week. Amazing how the Lord opened a door and within 4 days we had a verbal offer. We feel blessed that it has worked out like this and are very excited about this new opportunity. On Monday Chris gave his resignation for his current job and it was a bittersweet ending. We have been thankful that he has had a job for the past almost 6 years, but can't wait to see what this new job brings. After resigning, he realized that he would have all this week off, and since we aren't 100% on vacations for this summer, we decided at 3pm on monday to head to KC in case we don't make it down in the spring. I quickly washed some clothes, got the bags packed, and waited for Chris to get home at 6. We left about 7pm, and got in to KC around 3:30am. The boys were AWESOME!!! Jack probably didn't say more than 2 words, and Cole fussed for about 1 minute until I got his blankie adjusted just right for him. It was much more pleasant than our previous road trips. I think Cole being a little older has helped.

If I have learned anything about Cole this trip, it is his love for animals. Grandpa Gerald and Grandma Linda have a couple of cats. Caspian used to be Aunt Megan's cat until they got pregnant, then they gave her to away. But we get to see him whenever we come down to visit. Cole has been chasing him around all over. Below are a couple of pictures of him trying to get the kitty. Cole even at one point got under the bed and got stuck trying to catch the kitty. Then we headed over to Uncle Joe's house to see their cousins and found a little doggie that Cole couldn't leave alone. Sorry Cole, your mommy isn't much for animals and it will be a long time before you might ever have one of your own.

I don't think Jack could be any happier to be playing with Grandpa G.
