Sunday: We decided it would be best to finalize our childcare schedule face-to-face over at the Pahman Place ... so I arrived somewhere around 4:30 in the afternoon and actually had Kelly all to myself (!!) for almost a solid hour while we talked about the details of caring for the kiddos while she and Dylan are "across the pond" for 14 days. I had wrongly thought it was NINE days and I remember thinking how LONG those days could be! I was rather surprised (actually shocked) to learn it was 14, practically 15, days they will be away. SO ... I brought a physical calendar along with me (naturally, it was a lighthouse calendar) so that I could write down the details, go home and hang it back up on my wall, and therefore NOT mess this up.
I was also introduced to Sarah, a lovely young woman from Dylan and Kelly's church, who will essentially be moving into their house for the duration. We also coordinated together some dates and times that work for us--we are making a GROUP effort to ensure all bases are covered.
Afterwards, Aidan asked if I would like to walk down to the creek and throw some rocks into it ... so away we went. Little Cal asked if he could come too, so all three of us walked to the end of their street where a little creek is tucked away on private property with zero access to it. However, if you are on the sidewalk that is on the bridge that covers the creek, you can get a glimpse of it and actually see the "plop" your rock makes as it hits the water. The one drawback is that there are not many rocks available that we can ever find to throw into the creek!
Trust me, we looked high and low, and actually found a few "stones" and sticks that we could hurl in for the thrill of it. Here are a few pictures I took:
You might ask: "Where is Aidan standing with such a happy face?" Well ... this is a rope tree house that Kelly is in the middle of constructing for the kids. It's super cool!
