How sweet it is.....

Thursday, I took Allison and Charlotte to the airport because Marianne Rex flew them out to Utah for a vacation/break/help with Charlotte trip for Allison!!  Which is really amazing and great for both parties because it does help Allison not be so lonely while John is having to work so many hours in football season and have more people to help watch Charlotte and give Allison a rest, and great for Marianne and Jessica, David, and Becky because they get to see Charlotte again - and she has changed so much since they last saw her!!   Bonus Anne Marie got to see Allison and Charlotte for a day too!  That made me extremely happy and I love the Rex's because they always include Anne Marie in their family outings!!

But the thing that makes me say "how sweet it is" is that since John is left in Texas, by himself, we offered to have him spend time with us on Saturday and Sunday and he was happy to and wanted to!  Isn't that wonderful!  We went to lunch at Mooyah's my new favorite place with having to count calories......you can have a lettuce wrap turkey burger and sweet potato fries and you feel like you have had a burger and fries!!  Only 546 calories!!  Then we went to see the movie "Captain Phillips" which was excellent by the way.  Then he came over for dinner and Alan and John watched the game and we all played cards!  It was a fun evening.  And tomorrow he will be coming for Sunday dinner!!  Alan and I were both commenting on how wonderful it is that he enjoys spending time with us and is comfortable with us without Allison and/or Charlotte!  I know John has missed Allison and Charlotte and them him, but it was only for 4 days and tomorrow evening they will be back together again!

It's been a win/win for everyone!!
