Insecurities...
I have taken on the role of head of household at the Beans. I drove my bubbly sister, Kirsty, and her quirky husband Scott to the airport today. They are flying over the atlantic as I post this, heading for England. Kirsty made up a song as we drove and it went something like this. " I am on my way to the airport to get in a plane and fly over the ocean to England, I have never done it before and I am really really excited, I am leaving all my cares behind." I am happy for her but cannot relate to her excitement over a 10 hour plane ride. Go Beans!!

I never see my niece Abbie looking insecure, I know she has been a time a two but she works really hard at hiding it. She asked me 10 million questions tonight, wanting me to map out ever detail of the next week and a half. I did the best I could but kept telling her that we would find our way and that all appointments would be met even with mom and dad gone. She went to bed wide eyed, looking very nervous. We prayed and she hugged me but I still get the feeling that she is not so sure about this arrangement. I will do my best to ease her fears.

Zach wanted me to show him on the map how far his parents had flown by the time he was going to bed. He is working very hard at being the man of the family, he took his dads words to heart. What a wonderful house full of Beans!!
