Thanks

Soon we'll be off to St. Paul with Zeke. We'll get Brittney to the Middle School, drop off Riley & Taylor at their school, take Anthony to his friend's house, put gas in the car and head out. We are so fortunate to have such a great support network that enables us to do what we need to do for our kids. * The kids' teachers are aware that we'll be gone and will give the kids extra love and help if they need it. -Thanks Mrs. Gunderson, Mrs Brenden and Tonya. * My mom and dad are staying with the other 4 kids while we're gone. We never even had to ask them, they just volunteered! They're staying at our house so the kids maintain their routine and can sleep in their own beds. They unselfishly juggled their schedule to help us out. -Thanks supportive parents! * My friend Holly is watching Anthony this morning. He's so excited about going to his friend Beth's house that my leaving isn't such a big deal. -Thanks Holly and Beth! * Our church community provided groceries so I have/had one less thing to worry about while getting ready and after we are gone. -Thanks church friends! * A very special group, The Kelly McGeough Foundation, has given us money for a hotel, gas and food for the trip. They are based in Brookings and aid families who have medical expenses for a child. -Thanks Kelly McGeough Foundation!
