Back to work!

We have had to return to the "real world"!! The last 2 weeks were great and a much needed break! I went back to work Friday night and since we had a full staff was home before 11pm. Ben went back last night and it was so clear he didn't want to leave last night!! He got home and promptly collapsed into bed :) The kids are dragging their feet this morning, probably because they didn't get in bed until almost 10pm. Phil Cross was in concert last night at church and then Ben and I met with Herb and Karen for a bit. So, we didn't get home until late.
Please be praying for Ben and I. We are moving forward with something that will be a huge change for our family. Not ready to give all the details here but will as soon as we are clear that it will happen. I treasure the prayers of our friends!!
Have a great week everyone!

Disney and the Ocean!

The Jarboe journey to Disney World and the ocean was GREAT!! The kids were fantastic on the drive and cooperative while we toured the Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios (ok so the rain at the end of our HS day did make them a bit cranky :)

I wish I had a recording of the giggles when the salty ocean tickled their toes for the first time! So precious!!! The first afternoon the surge was high and the waves were harder than I ever remember. We were staying in Daytona just down the road from the hotel my family always stayed in so there were lots of happy memories shared with the kids by myself and Grammy and PaPa. We are so grateful to Grammy and PaPa for making this trip a reality for us!

Here are a few photos from the trip!!

This giant gorrilla was in front of a gas station somewhere in Georgia. Wes is bravely using his Native America spear to rescue his sisters! :) The spear, along with matching head dress, were his first suveniors. PaPa gave them each the same amount of money to spend on WHATEVER they wanted! Inteference from Mom or Grammy was not allowed!! Let me tell you it led to some interesting choices!

You can see the beautiful weather the Lord blessed us with (thanks for the prayers Shelly LOL!) as well as a beautiful resort pool! That is Wes on the slide.
That thing on Wesley's head is Jamacian Mickey Mouse ears! Braids and all!! The hat and ears are knitted so the ears wouldn't stay up!! We didn't see anyone else wearing these particular ears if you can believe that :)

All of us with Goofy and Pluto at Hollywood Studios! Note Ben's Goofy t shirt. They had one that I wish I had gotten that said "I'm with Goofy" So fitting for us don't you think LOL!!

Let the giggles begin!

My favorite photo from the week! Thanks for checking in with us! There are lots more pictures and if I ever figure out how to do the blogger video thing I'll add some!
