Momma Post: Wow...it's been several months since I've written a post. Many times I've caught myself thinking something Ruby or Willa did was "blogworthy". My job transfer/promotion has been great in a lot of ways, but has really zapped my last bit of energy in the evenings.Over the MLK Jr. Weekend, we drove down to Southern Oregon to visit my grandparents, Uncle Tom and our friends Ryan and Maisie and their boys. This was also our first trip to the area following Grandpa Doyle's memorial service. It didn't feel quite the same. I missed pulling the Stockton's large drive and seeing Doyle's impeccable garden; watching the girls entertain themselves with the remote controlled Lazy Boy chair; Myrtle's bold pink wallpapered bathroom; and Doyle...telling you exactly how it is. The girls love digging through Grandma and Grandpa's toy box that has entertained many children...cousins and now children of cousins of mine. The girls equally entertained my grandparents by showing off their dance moves. These trips are never long enough. I tend to feel rushed, distracted by the girls and wonder if we've made the most of our time with Grandma and Grandpa. With that said, I also feel incredibly blessed and look forward to visiting again in late Spring.
