It’s been quiet around these parts lately.

My three older children are living it up in Tennessee, spending their spring break with my wonderful in-laws. Despite the divorce, my in-laws have always been so sweet and kind to my children and me. They’re still very much involved in my childrens’ lives, accepting and welcoming to my new husband and I couldn’t ask for more!

Their cousins came along for the ride when they were picked up here in small town Missouri. They were so happy to see each other.

They loaded up the car and jumped on in. Lana decided that she wanted to go too. She waved bye-bye.

But she soon cried when she realized that she’d be staying back with my husband and I.

Poor baby. Speaking of poor babies, my poor son was stuck in a vehicle with 5 women for the 6-hour drive to Tennessee.

I’m happy to report that he survived the ordeal. He and my oldest daughter are having a blast, but my 9-year old daughter, Maya, is a little homesick. She texted me this morning and I nearly cried.

I know she’s enjoying herself and that these little bursts of homesickness are fleeting, but boy do I look forward to seeing my children again soon.

I’m missing my babies…

In case you missed it, I recently posted a fabulous photography tutorial on using overlay textures to enhance your photos. It’s easy-to-follow and there’s a FREE texture download available as well.
