I LOVE this picture. It shows how much she cries, and how upset it makes Amanda. LOL
So I was nervous about how it would go. EVIE was wonderful. She was as sweet as she could be all day long. Here is a picture of her jumping off the back of the couch. This fun game kept everyone entertained for quite a while.
Grandma and all the kids.
Amanda's house backs up to a lake. We took a walk around the lake when it cooled off. It was so beautiful.
We had traded cars with Tyler because his car had the car seats. He called to let us know that the transmission was acting funny. Craig went out to his place of business and traded cars back so that we could get it checked before we drove the last leg home. Sure enough. The transmission had totally "gone out." The repair shop had it fixed in one day. Of course, it cost an arm and a leg. We decided to put the repairs on the credit card and pay monthly just like a car payment. Hey, we were going to buy a new car when we got home anyway. So we will now "pretend" we have a new car. Actually, with new tires, a new radiator, a new water pump, and a new transmission, we kinda do.... have a new car, that is.
Just as a side note, when Amanda was home the next day, Evie was back to her crying self. Any time she was near Amanda, she was crying for whatever. Crying for snacks, crying for TV, crying for attention, just crying in general. Too funny.
We got home late Wednesday night and have been spending the last two weeks painting. The carpet and new counters should be in by the end of the month. At least that's the plan. Even though our mission is over, I'll probably continue to blog about what's happening. It's a good way to let our families know what we are doing. We're so pleased to have had this opportunity to know and love the people of Indiana. They are still in our prayers and thoughts. We hope they always will be.
