Four More Days

I don't think either Dave or myself thought it would be this hard. Aubrey is having a very difficult time. Imagine living in a hotel room with 2 twin beds and a crib with 4 people. All we want is to get out of the room, once outside we want back in the room because of the unbearable heat.



I liken it to throwing a birthday party for ten 6 year olds. The games have all been played, the gifts opened and the cake and ice cream eaten, and there is another whole hour before the parents come back to claim their children. I have done everything I can think of to calm her and nothing helps for very long.



We do have windows of time where she is engaging and alot of fun. I am just feeling tapped and drained of patience. Please send prayers for Dave and I as patience is not a talent either of us possess.



We are both dreaming of our 2 boys at home, Hi Nate and Gabe, we miss you terribly. Sorry, can't get the pictures to work today.

You can do this. You're almost there!! I'm sending positive energy your way and asking God to give you the strength and patience to get through the last few days.

Everything will seem so much easier once you're home.

Hugs~

Dave and Nikki -

Hang in there. Just a few more days. Look forward to all the good times once you're home. We're sending our love your way.

Monday is within your reach; everyday Aubrey is learning she is part of your family. The heat is ausing the stress. Be strong. Love conquers all! Ferne
