All I can say is wow, we have done so much driving the last two days. Sunday morning we started out in Litttle Rock and drove eight hours up to Springfield Illinois to drop my work truck off at the depot. Thank God it was a safe trip, but me driving the work truck and Dana and the kids in the suburban, it was almost impossible to stick to any kind of time schedule. God has definitely blessed us with really great kids. Its amazing to me how content they can be in the vehicle at their ages. I could learn from them in that area. As we get to the depot, my wife who got lost twice yesterday, (don't ask me how because she was following me) pulls into the depot parking lot and gets a flat tire. I have been driving in and around railroad depots for 13 years and have yet to run over a spike! Of course not knowing she did it, pulls up and says "wow that was a long trip I am glad we finally made it." I told her it just got longer because the 10 feet you drove through the parking lot you got a flat. She said "what?" I said don't you hear that air pouring out of the tire? She said "Oh, is that what that is?" So I took a couple of deep breaths and starting to get all the spare tire stuff out. Once again the kids were great through that whole thing. They laughed and played games with each other. It was already dark by this time and I changed it as they asked me a few times "are you ok and do you want some help." Finally after that we grabbed a quick bite and headed to Osage Beach where our camper was. We got there around midnight. This morning we woke up and got things ready to move to Springfield. We ended up leaving aroung 12:30. Arrived here at Springfield at around 5:30 today. The kids were so excited when we got here because they have a park and could ride their bikes all over the place. As they played, I got everything set up and Dana made supper. We are looking forward to seeing and doing so many things as we stay here. Its all about Abe Lincoln here and Isabel studied him last year and she is so excited to see everything Springfield has to offer about him. Thanks for your prayers! -Jamie
