"Sissy"....to hear that word from four little short people is like Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" playing in my ears. That word is music to my ears and can melt me into a puddle faster than you can blink your eyes! "Sissy" is the special name that my nieces and nephews call me. And, it's a special name reserved only for them...and when I hear it, well, it's just ear candy. Those four little short people happen to be my brother and sister-in-love's children...1, 3, 5 and 7....definitely a house full of stair-steps!
Lately, their little worlds have been somewhat out of the regular order with their mommy just having had surgery a week ago due to colon cancer. But in the midst of this trial, the Lord has provided and He has met the needs of all four of these precious little souls. 1 and 3 have been with my Mom, who traveled up before the surgery. 5 & 7 have been with their other grandparents all week here in our town and will be joining my husband and I tomorrow for a few days. And then, there's Tuesday....can you say road trip? I'll be headed north for a fabulous road trip with 5 & 7 to take them home to join 1 & 3, and their Mommy and Daddy! Most people would balk at a road trip with a 5 & 7 year old, but not me. These boys are the bomb....and we're going to have an absolute blast! And I know that our little princesses 1 & 3 will be SO happy to see their brothers!
So, I will probably be on a break for a few days. But, I'm sure I'll have some great things to share when the trip is over. I know that there is a Mommy and a Daddy five hours north of here that are going to light up when 5 & 7 make it back home. I pray that everyone has a great weekend and a fabulous week! In the meantime, I thought I'd share our road trip scavenger hunt with you....I know that the boys will love it, and we'll make some really fun memories in the process! This was a great little website that had some really fun stuff...enjoy!
Blessings,
