Respect the Mom...

So it's been a busy work week and slow house week around here. Kate took the kids up north to her parents this week where they have been playing hard and having fun. I'll admit, it's a bit too quiet around here. The nuclear energy that is usually oozes from our walls has come to a halt these last few days, and it's missed. Phone calls have confirmed nothing but excitement on the northern front. Props to Kate, to all of her fun ideas, thoughts and love she shares with the kids. I thought I'd throw a shout out to one of her greatest tools... the van.
