The Jordans- Cherish, Sean, Autumn and Emelia

Last night was so hard on me. I know it was hard on you too. Your words keep ringing in my ear and it makes me feel guilty. I am just so grateful that you were able to hold me and comfort me. I cannot stand being away from you as it makes my heart hurt. I guess it was good for me to get all of my crying out last night because my eyes were dry this morning when I dropped you off. It isn't that I didn't feel like crying or that I didn't want to, but it wasn't the place for it. Anyway, the girls are OK. Right after we left from you, Autumn told me, "I'm really going to miss my daddy." She seemed to be deep in thought and then she says, "Well, we are all going to miss him." Yes indeed. I am about done packing. I'm going to load the car up in a few. This is what the girls look like. Square pants. She keeps asking me if you are going to lose her Walden. I keep reassuring her that Walden will be safe with you. Millie says,

We were really hoping to take one last trip to the beach, but when we tried to get reservations, everything was booked up. We decided to head north to Gatlinburg. Our first stop was to the Smoky Mountains National Park to get our Stamp in our passport. Millie was researching the trails. Roww. Millie and Roww. Even a Sean and Roww picture. My little sweet heart. After driving through the mountains a bit, we headed to our "home." Autumn was introduced to Pixy sticks. One of the nice things about our resort, The playground. She's electric. Little lady. Love her glasses. Some people are little kids at heart. We ate dinner at our hotel and then called it a night. The next morning, we got up and headed into the park for a family hike. On the way, we bumped into some deer. There were stunning views. Grotto falls. As usual, I had Millie. Sean had Autumn. There was wild life. There was wild flowers. Sean too
