It's amazing how quiet a house can feel with one less child in it. Drew is still in Washington DC with my parents. The house feels so different without him here.
He is having a terrific time. He was able to see Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington Cemetery and many of the monuments yesterday. This morning he is at the Bureau of Engraving, where they make the money, and then the Smithsonian and then he will have the opportunity to be on the floor with MN Congressman Erik Paulson. Evidently if you are under the age of 12 you can be on the floor during the session. So that is exciting. Erik also has some sort of special permission to take Drew, Mom and Dad up to the top of the Capital building as well. So they are all excited for that. Thanks Dad for planning all of these fun details for him while he is there and to think he has 2 more days of fun ahead!
It is fun to hear his voice and what he thinks of it all on the phone...Mom and Dad are blessed to get to see his face first hand as he sees all of these special places. I am counting on loads of pictures from all cameras when they arrive home.
We do miss Drew. Tommy said yesterday as we were walking into church, "Mom it feels really weird with Drew not wit us". Amazes me how God knits you so closely together as a family and when one is not with us, it just doesn't feel complete. And to think there will be a day when the 5 of us will not all live together. There will be a day when life is different and the boys will grow up. Until then...I will be so grateful that we are together.
Miss you Drew...hope you are having a great time! We love you buddy. xo Mommy
Even though being JUST with Steve when the kids all grow up, I can't imagine the house without them either! I wish I could freeze the days!!! Glad Drew is having a fun time. Good playin' on the court tonight, Scott!
