Our time in Minnesota is quickly winding down. It is always hard to leave home, but this trip is especially difficult because its been filled with a host of life's milestones for a lot of special people in our lives.
Yesterday it really hit me. And while I'm pretty good about keeping my emotions in check, yesterday it all came out. Fortunately for me, I've got two sweet little girls who know just how to add a little sunshine to my day.
This is a conversation we had last night:
Abby: You were crying last night on the phone, Mama. Why?
Brooke: Because I am sad.
Abby: You're sad? Why?
Brooke: Nikki's leaving Owatonna.
Abby: Nikki's leaving Owatonna? Where's she going then? Ohio?!
Brooke: No. She's going to Colorado.
Abby: She's going to Colorado? I need to go to the store then & get fruit snacks.
Lauren: I need to get fruit snacks, too, for Rock.
I'm not sure if there will be any fruit snacks for Sugar/Carol (the newest blanket/baby), but there will be some for Abby, Lauren & Rock. And Nikki, you will be missed!
