Thank Goodness for your post.
Fact is, we can’t afford to visit them any more this year. In fact, with #3 child going to college this Fall and #4 next Fall, we can’t afford to go visit the next entire year. However, if I am still alive in 07 we are planning to take an entire month off to visit and rent a place in their area. If we can just hang on the next 1 1/2 yrs we may get through the double tuitions.The baby at that point will be 1 1/2.
I was pretty upset when making the original post. They had just called us and husband was absolutely giddy son in law had found a new job in his field. He was having difficulty, at least 6 months. At issue was really if D could stay home with the baby.So, all is great but I felt hurt. Like here I was upset they call so infrequently and now, here they go off to live with the in laws.
I gotta put this thread to rest. I won’t be on c.c. after tonight for a while, am just too busy. But did very much enjoy the connection here. What an incredibly bright group! What a pleasure!
