Momentous news

On Friday evening, my parents treated us to dinner to celebrate Stacey's upcoming birthday. He'll be in England on his actual day, which also happens to be Father's Day.

Violet very much enjoyed the dessert we shared around the table!

Prior to dinner, Stace and I let the girls in on a little something we'd been keeping secret: Cora would be joining Stace on his one-week trip to help build Nan and Pop's new kitchen.

Violet and I, meanwhile, would be celebrating "Mummy and Violet's Week of Fun," with lots of great activities planned including Disneyland, the circus, and a baseball game.

Both girls were pleased with our news; obviously Violet wanted to go to England too, and Cora wanted us to come along, but they were  understanding.

They were up early Saturday, Cora's first day of summer, and I found them on the couch like this. Love my readers!

On Saturday night, since they'd soon be apart for a week, they had a sleepover. We got the trundle bed out, but in the morning this is how they were sleeping.

Cora later told us that Violet had a nightmare about a spider, and Cora calmed her down by letting her climb in.

On Sunday, since we wouldn't be around for our typical evening service, we went to the early service at Real Life.

It marked the weekend the children move up into the next grade level in Sunday school, so Violet moved upstairs from the preschool classrooms, into the kindergarten room. She's close to Cora now, and they can sit together during the large group singing and lesson time.
After church, we went to Trader Joe's for some airplane snacks for Cora and Stace.
Then, it was home for a few hours of final preparations, and then the lunchtime trip to LAX.

Saying goodbye was tough!
But they were off... away on a daddy-daughter adventure I'm sure they won't ever forget.
