Sad days

I always knew that this day would come, but I wasn't ready for it just yet-the day that Grayson and Griffin would have to leave the wonderful childcare that they have at the seminary.  You see, Grayson and Griffin's daycare is officially closing.  I would go into the long story about it closing, but I'm trying not to allow the bitterness stir inside me.  Anyway, we are obviously deeply saddened.  We felt like this was our best option aside from me being their caregiver.  Now, we are scrambling to find childcare for our boys in 2 weeks.  Yes, I said 2 weeks.  I know that God has a purpose and a reason, and He will provide.  However, this has been a big blow.  Not only are we having to find childcare, my 3 year old has to leave the friends he has been with since they were 4 months old, including Jada.  When I told him that Friday was his last day, he literally sat down and cried.  His heart was truly broken.  So, as a mom, what did I do?  I cried for about 2 days.  

Luckily, Grayson's teacher is going to continue to keep him.  She is watching children out of her home, and we absolutely adore her.  So does Grayson.  He has learned so much this year, and I know that he will be fine, even if he's not around all of his friends.  Griffin is a different story. Grayson's teacher was already full, so she didn't have enough space for Griffin.   There are several options that have fallen through, and there are some that I'm still looking in to. As appealing as it sounds, I can't just quit my job, and it's not like Dave can just set up the pack n play in his office.    So, as I rant, I ask that you all pray- pray for me and my bitterness, pray for safety for my children, pray for a place for Griffin, and pray for all of the people involved- that includes 41 workers and about 150+ families.  

On Friday, I knew that I wanted to be the cheesy mom and take pictures, especially of Grayson and Jada.  So, here they are below.  I hope you enjoy!



Here is Grayson with the wonderful Jada.  Isn't she adorable?  Grayson looks so proud.  :-)




Here they are again.  Dave and I laughed because it looks like they're waving goodbye to us as they go out on a date or something.
