Good morning everyone! I hope you're doing amazing, I hope you slept well and I hope you know my amazing Father. =) He loves you and accepts you!
My sister called earlier...and said we all want to know if the kids can stay a bit longer. They are having such a good time with their cousins, we only see them once a year, and we want to spend a few days with mom & dad on the way back too-would that be okay? I wanted to scream Nooooooo through the phone but...I heard myself say...if the kids are happy and enjoying themselves they can stay. 
Gosh, I miss them!
At least we talk with them every single day and we know they are having such a great time that they wouldn't be having here right now. So, I am happy for them. 
The other day they went on a boogie board down a sand dune!? 
I want to join their adventure!!
God has closed some other doors in our life-like my photography for now, and things might be changing soon...we will see what happens. There was a job opportunity that my husband might take-we are praying about it. I love watching & waiting to see what God has in store!
If you need prayers I would love to pray for you!!

@DWDavis I am too honestly, my heart hurts about it but right now it's just for the best. It felt so right behind the camera capturing amazing memories. But, this isn't the end-just not right now.
Thank you for caring.

I am sure your kids are benefitting from being with extended family, and they really do need to spend some time with their grandparents, so I think you are making the right decision. Your photography was taking off..why are you giving up on it? Is it a transportation issue?

@snowy22315 They are having a great time and it's so good for them! =)
Many reasons actually...It's partially due to not being able to get where I need to go, partially because I cannot invest money right now, partially because the timing is not right, partially because I want to wait til we get into a home where I can have a studio there & lastly if this job happens for my hubby we will be moving. =)

You honestly don’t need a fancy camera for photography, due to issues with muscles and not being able to carry a bunch of stuff around, I mostly use my iPhone, but I understand your ride issues, just don’t stop taking pictures, I enjoyed watching you grow as a photographer! I am glad your kids are happy though!

@Michellekidwell This isn't stopped, just put on hold. I already have the Nikon camera. But I don't have props and different scenery/costumes that people seem to want. =( And sometimes my husband has a hard time getting me where I need to go-which I don't like putting too much on him either.
Thank you so much, I will still be doing sessions once in a while-if someone wants one but I'm not pushing things the way I was. I am letting go and letting God. =)

I know it feels as if part of you is missing with the kids gone, but you are kind to share them with the family. I see that your life continues to be and adventure.

I think one of the hardest things about being a parent is when you have a separation of any type from your children. Ever since my kids were little, they would spend the entire summer with their grandparents, who live in south Florida about 4 hours away. My grandparents were very active in my life growing up, so I wanted to make sure my own kids could spend as much time as possible with their grandparents. But it was so hard on my having them gone for an entire summer every year! The only thing that helped get me through those long months was the fact that I was so busy at work. Kept me distracted.
I know you will be eagerly awaiting the return of your kids! At least you can appreciate the fact that they are with family and having a great time!

@moffittjc That's great they had so much time with their grandparents. =)
I am so glad they are having a blast with family and doing fun things that they wouldn't be doing here.
This will be great memories for them!

@LovingMyBabies It's always a great opportunity for our kids to branch out and experience new opportunities. But we as parents still miss them, no matter how great a time they are having!

Whatever he has in store for you, I am sure it will be good. How nice that your children are having such a good time. You may miss them but as long as they are having a good time take pleasure in that fact and know that you will have them back soon.

Sad you have to be away from your kids, and enjoying the time with your family, but like you stated God is in control and the waiting on him is always the hardest

The cousins my kids are closest to are actually much older than they are. The cousins closest to them in age are probably the ones they have spent the least amount of time with. Such is life, they have an aunt and uncle who pretty much fill the grand-parent role and cousins that serve as aunts and uncle.

@Sophiamorros Yeah, I'm grateful mine having cousins to play with/hang out with! They all get along so well, it's good! =)
As long as they have family that love them-that's what matters.
