For the last few years my sister Ann and I have gone down to Texas to visit Big Grandpa and Dolores for a weekend in February. This year Ann decided to fore go that visit and come to Illinois in the summer instead. So this February Ashley, Alex and I are flying down to Texas for a visit. We fly out on Friday and back home on Tuesday over President's Day weekend so they will only miss one day of school. That didn't seem too upsetting for them
:-). The "Old Folks", as they refer to themselves, are compiling a list of things for them to do so the kids won't be bored in the old folks land. Warm weather, the pool, golf cart, the beach, the Ocean, South Padre Island - are the start of their list which sounds like a good start on fun! I am counting on Logan to make no appearance plans until after we return!! Pictures and update when we get back.

The kids are so excited, they both say they want to go right now. Alex said "beach! ocean! you didn't say anything about the ocean!"
It is great amo to get them to get their homework done, room clean, weed out things they are no longer attached to, etc. I have great dreams of visits by a realtor - hopefully with a nice family who loves this house. It works out perfect too because the Tuesday when you all come home we go before the village board to hopefully get a swift approval for the new shop.
I made my first trip to pick up moving supplies from Uline. I now walk into each room asking myself if I would buy it or not. If not, I am quick to make instant changes or corrections.
The kids plan to pack for Texas this weekend - there are no plans to wear warm weather clothing here anytime soon.
Thank you for the opportunity. They will love this but mostly the time with you.
