Funny, I haven't shooed any kids out the door yet, but nothing is so likely to bring me to tears as the thought of my girls' earlier selves being gone -- dead in a way, because even though we'll all be together in the end, it won't be their toddler versions joining me. Those little people are gone for good, and sometimes I really miss them. <br /><br />So sorry on the loss of your brother. This life thing is ridiculously tough sometimes, isn't it?Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822410201369209660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19703534.post-13670716386221117582014-08-07T11:27:04.925+09:002014-08-07T11:27:04.925+09:00That is because in Iowa people actually are friend...That is because in Iowa people actually are friendly<br /><br />Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338688515732965297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19703534.post-18569454399145008552014-08-05T05:17:40.987+09:002014-08-05T05:17:40.987+09:00Noah finished the Cooking merit badge two days bef...Noah finished the Cooking merit badge two days before his birthday in April. He had his Board of Review in May, but somehow a wrong form was submitted, so we are still waiting for the District Council and National Council to square everything up to make him official. I don't think a single person hassled him along the way. Court of Honor will have to wait until Christmas break, though.CSIowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938642038970322119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19703534.post-22851605619072187652014-07-24T08:44:26.720+09:002014-07-24T08:44:26.720+09:00Must have been the Google translator.

He has not left yet but thought he might enjoy reading your sons blog. So many people seem to be heading to Brazil. I think the Potter's will leave soon...or at least when they get their visa's.
