Crazy times

We are getting ready to leave for Missouri tomorrow and we have so much to do! We are excited to get this trip underway. Probably me more than Jake, he hates the drive. I LOVE being in the car for so long. Gives us a time to just chill with each other and answer all of Gracie's questions and concerns. I don't remember if I wrote this or not in another blog so forgive me if I did...a couple of weeks ago when we found out that Monique and Tom were not going to Missouri Jake made the mistake of saying to me joking "Monique and Tom don't love us, they are not going to Mo this year." Gracie overheard him and the next day just started bawling. When I asked her what was wrong she told me she was sad that Tom and Mo don't love her anymore. :( I had to turn around because I was laughing so hard. She was so distressed.
Monique, since you are one of the two that read this blog...enjoy your new found peace. I don't blame you a second for staying home. Enjoy your "new" home with your very own little family:)
And Ann-Marie since you are the second person who reads this blog-have a fantastic trip! Don't worry about Brad:) Weather permitting we will be there on Sunday to help you brave the Moberly ward!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Mom, are they Jewish?

This is Gracie's most recent favorite question. We were at the store and she just started asking if certain people were Jewish. After she asks about random people she will get more specific and ask about people we actually know. Jake taught her to say "Peurto Rican Jew" except Gracie pronounces it "Pork and Jew" So the ward missionaries are over the other night to meet Jake and Gracie asks me if they are pork and Jews. That girl makes me laugh!
