The Due Date

We really had a nice day today actually. We started out at our church and had some time in the sanctuary for some time of reflection, prayers and sharing. It got pretty emotional during that. After that, we went out front to do a balloon launch. We all wrote notes and attached them to the balloons. The balloon launch...well it didn't quite go as planned we learned a couple things...

1. A full sheet of paper is a little to heavy - it is doable but one must tie the note up close to the balloon and fold up the sheet. Punch the hole closer to the middle of the paper.
2. Do try to steer clear of trees if at all possible.

Daddy's balloon got caught it two different trees - eventually it did work itself free - thank goodness it was a breezy day. Mommy's note fell of somewhere near the beginning and then went into the woods - it too eventually worked itself free. Grandma W's - went low - first into the trash cans and then into the woods - it either worked free or became food for some animal - hopefully it worked free. Grandpop Y's almost hit power lines - then hit a tree working free. Grammy Y's was the most successful one after she learned from our mistakes. We'll plan to do another one for his birthday and we'll make it much more successful. We laughed so hard and knew Aaron was probably laughing right at us!

After that we spent the day and Dorney and we had a wonderful fun day. I bet Aaron had fun watching us have fun there to.

Thank you all for you thoughts. We love you. Oh and Aaron, we miss you and hope you had a lot of fun watching us today - we probably gave you a couple good laughs! Love you sweetheart!
