My kids

I wanted to end my trip blogs with photos of my kids. We were gone over 2 weeks, with thousands of miles and many hours in the car, and they were both awesome the whole time. I'm not sure how many families would take on that long of a car trip with an almost 4 year old and a 3 month old, but I'm glad we did. No matter what we did on our trip, we enjoyed it because we got to spend that time with our kids. I really feel blessed to have Luke and Mia, and I'm not really sure what I ever did with my time and energy before they were around! So here are the last photos - just ones of my kids. I love the one of Luke at the zoo, because it shows him "reading." Lately he'll read things on his own - he'll follow the words with his fingers and use context clues to figure out what it's saying. So maybe it's not the exact words, but hey, he's using skills my third graders don't always use! The last one of Luke pretty much sums up how we were all feeling those last two days driving home. I even woke Marc up to capture it with the camera while I was driving
