... sleep? who needs sleep?

ME... I need sleep! I haven't been sleeping much this past week. Can't stop thinking about JR and his family. The memorial service on Sunday was extremely emotional and draining. It was a celebration of JR's life though - and it's amazing how many lives he touched in such a short time! I've started a blog for the family - if you could visit it and sign the guestbook and let them know you care - would mean a lot! Thanks! http://jrlipat.blogspot.com/



JR - Your LIGHT will always shine in our hearts! You will NEVER EVER be forgotten!

It's crunch time and the movers (part 1 of 3 movers) starts packing us out this week (wednesday). It's times like these that I kick myself for being such a procrastinator! I'm slow to start things - but work better under pressure! Ugh! There are 3 parts of our move: 1. The stuff going to Guam 2. The EXPRESS shipment (small shipment) going to GUAM 3. The storage items that will stay behind.


I'm so thankful my parents are here - like ALL SUMMER! What would I do without my parents? They are something else! Mom is always doing something... sewing or cleaning out all the food in the fridge and pantry - while Mia's cheeks are exploding from all the new things she's trying! Did I mention my daughter LOVES to eat? Mia LOVES to eat! It's funny to see her get passionate about her food - hmmm, I wonder where she gets that one from?


My dad - he's either fixing or cleaning something - or playing the piano and hangin' with the kids! They are so full of energy and I'm so thankful for them! The kids are sleeping in the motorhome many nights - and it gives us time to focus on the stuff here at home. My mom says I'd get more done if I would - STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER! Ha! She knows me all too well! This is my mental "break" - blogging and staying connected! But she's right - I would get more done!


Anyway... I guess I should "step away" and get more done! Here's a few pics from our week...
