Way to busy!

Ok sorry it has been so long. Life has been so busy. I am averaging 12 hr days at work and going in some over the weekend! I will be glad when it slows down!
Ok update...
The funeral for Landon was extremely hard. Abby took it pretty hard. At first she was very mad at him because he "didn't look both ways!" Then the questions started. Here are a few..
"When does he get his wings?"
"Does he know how to fly right away or does he go to school to learn?"
"If he knows how to fly does he go to school to learn to fly really fast?"
"Does he get a magic wand?"
"Who does he cuddle with if he has a bad dream?"
and they go on and on....

This past Friday we went to my Dad's retirement dinner. He retired at the age of 57 after 35 years with the same company! Mom and Dad wanted to keep Abby for 5 nights! Abby was pretty leary at first because she has never spent that kind of time away from us but she decided to go. Mom and Dad were going to take her and Taelyr and Kaelyn to Okoboji on Tuesday. So we left her there Friday night. It was pretty difficult to leave her! But I held it in. We were just about on the interstate to home and the cell phone rings. It is Abby crying. She wants us to come get her. I talked to her and told her we would come get her but that would mean she wouldn't get to go to Okoboji and do all the other fun stuff that was planned. After some hesitation she decided to stay. She was pretty tired at the time. So by Saturday she was fine. She made it the whole time! It was so quiet here! We got a lot of stuff done and she had a blast! She loved Okoboji and rode all the rides she was big enough for. They brought her back last night.

Work has been a complete zoo! I just want a nice easy week soon!
