After weeks and weeks of preparation, we were as prepared as we could be to leave the 3 kids, ages 11, almost 10 and 5 years old with Ya-Ya and Grandpa, MeMe Diane. Megan Perkins was a critical part of their daily routine, picking them up for school in the mornings and getting them to other extra circular activities. She even had Delaney spend the night the very first Monday night, while YaYa and Grandpa took the older kids to the evening FIESTA parade. Delaney got to wake up in the Perkins house the morning of Asher, Easton and Uncle Mike's birthday. How exciting!
Diane came in Wednesday through Sunday night, leaving the crack of dawn, Monday morning to get back to work in Tyler. We didn't get home until after lunch time that Monday, almost 8 days after leaving, but we were SO impressed with how well everybody did!
We are so grateful to everyone that did SO much to allow Blake and I to get away for the first time in SEVERAL year and the longest amount of time ever. We absolutely know there is no way that we could have done it without Cheryl, Diane, Megan and Nancy!
