So, Jeremy starts his job tomorrow! I am excited for him to start his career & to use what he's learned & he'll make a great dentist. BUT, I will miss him, I'm not going to lie. It's been perfect having him home for the last almost 2.5 months! Pray that I'll be able to take care of my kids in a patient & loving way on my own...yikes!
So, we went to a State Park 1.5 hours away from our home on Friday. We drove all the way there & unpacked all the stuff & kids & started walking when we discovered someone (his name will remain anonymous :) forgot to put the formula back in the bag before leaving the house! So, we put everyone & everything back in the car & drove back to the nearest town with a grocery store (we were in the middle of no where) to buy a new can. I was a bit annoyed. But we got back to the park & had a great day. Well on the way home Jeremy & I decided we'd stop & take advantage of Mc'D's 49 cent cones if the kids were all asleep. They were so we stopped for some soft serve & then got back on the road. Then our van started sounding really weird & wouldn't go faster than like 25 mph. And we broke down right in front of a Dodge Dealership in the middle of No Where, Missouri! What are the chances??
Everyone there was so nice, they took a look at our car, they let us use their air conditioned lobby for a couple of hours while we got things figured out. State Farm towed our car for free to Springfield & the head mechanic left his car at the shop & drove us home, 45 minutes, in one of their minivans so we wouldn't have to rent a van with money we don't have. What nice people seriously. Of course they did try to sell us a van, but can you really blame them? Hopefully it won't come to that but if so, we'll be alright. (And I'm so glad Jeremy convinced me he needed an old car, not a scooter because at least we have 1 set of wheels, even if we can't all fit into it!)
Back to the formula. I'm so glad we left it at home & had to buy a new can because the formula we would've brought was almost gone anyway & it wouldn't have been enough to feed the babies the whole day. We were gone an extra 4/5 hours beyond our plans.
Heavenly Father blessed us so much that day! It couldn't have been a better place & time to break down :)
And Emma is now rocking on her knees. I am not ready for a crawler. I need to buy some more gates. Justin can now roll onto his back if he's mad (which is any time he's on his belly for more than 1 minute). He hates his belly!

What a blessing. We really need to be thankful and aware of all the quiet miracles that happen every day.
Oh my word! Emma is almost there! I can't believe it.
That is so crazy! What a blessing, indeed! How can she be up on all fours?!? She was just born!
Apparently Emma and Evan are on the same mobility track. Rocking up on all fours. scooching backwards around the house. Pencil rolling everywhere...Slow down little guy and gal!
Wow! What a great story and great people. Isn't it amazing how we can simply trust that no matter what happens, we'll be taken care of. Even if we may need to struggle for a while, help does really comes when we really need it. (And feel free to remind me of this!) ;)
I love that you stopped to get ice cream while the kids were asleep! LOL!!! That's awesome! It's nice to know that we're not the only ones that would do something like that!
