Suds in the bucket and the clothes hanging out on the line

That song has always reminded me of Desiree.  I guess because she was the oldest of the kids and I saw her growing up. 

This past week she moved to New Mexico with Thomas, David and Sam.  She's been gone 9 days already. David's already in a new school, Ranchvale.  They seem to be doing well and I'm glad for them, but it seems strange. 

Desiree won't add me on Facebook or her blog so I have no way of seeing the kids anymore, unless she emails me a picture. It's hard because I used to see them almost daily and now I have to wait for a morsel to be sent. :(  That makes me sad.

Heather drove to Rosamond with Desiree, to get the truck weighed


I watched them drive away. I had to go to work.

We left at 2:00 in the morning.  Sammy was awake

But David was sleeping. He woke up soon after and then stayed awake the whole rest of the day.  I think it was a lot for him, but he did good in the car. He played with his DS most of the  way.

My mom was up at 2:00 a.m. to say goodbye.

after we dropped them off, we slept then got up the next morning, uppacked and started back for home.  We spent the night in a Knigt's Inn in Flagstaff, and woke up to 18" of snow.  The roads were closed, but we went through anyway and made it back home about 4:00 p.m. Sunday

The drive was beautiful but scary.  We saw a trailer cut in half on the road, with all it's contents exposed.
