So, we had this bright idea that Jake & Sophie could go back to Albuquerque with Coco & Pa after Christmas. Dad & I had to work the Monday-Weds before New Years so the kids, finally agreed to go. Plus Pa & Coco were planning to come back through town on their way to Laughlin for the New Year. So, it was all good...and then they left. We thought FOR SURE the kids would turn back. It was more like, me & Dad wanted to run after their car. That whole first day they were gone, we were so sad. It was awful. Then, Sophie called me that night crying and all she could say was, "I want you Mom". I felt so helpless not being able to go get her. Jake was too cool. He would get on the phone and say, "Hi Mom, I'm ok". 3 days seemed like 3 months. On the drive out to Albuquerque, they got to play in the snow, which they were so happy about. But, driving back, a really bad snow storm hit Arizona and they drove right through it. They made it back safely, just in time to ring in the new year! I told Jake he can't leave again, until he's going to college. And, even then I might change my mind.
THEY ARE Back.....
