The best laid plans...........and all that

What a week! Hayden came for a visit, Kevin's truck got here, Lori's dad had major surgery & it appears that Whitneytoo is back!  The Snapon truck swap has been scheduled many time since June 25th.  All of the schedules included many hands to do the work.  Maybe that was just too many hands.  The bottom line was the truck got here Sunday with Kev, Ken, Adam, Phil and Jaci helping out.  Where were the rest of us???  Kim is working the Roder (9:30a-9:30p); Erick and I spent 10 hours taking Hayden to her mom; Lori went over to SD to help her dad.  Saturday night Mike/Rachel/Andy and Alexa came over to see Hayden.  I love this first sequence of interaction between Papa Kevin and Andy.  She was helping, pushing buttons here and there over and over.  She flitted in and out for about 20 minutes.  Poke, punch, see this Papa.  He finally just gave up!

Erick, Hayden and I got to Ft Collins two hours early.  Why?  Why to have lunch with Whitneytoo!!  And she cheerfully took the help wanted ads that Erick brought for her.  She'll be up next weekend.  Yup I'ma thinking we just might have two Whitney's after all.  Hayden spotted her first and yelled, (what else) Mama!
 Back in Gillette the changeover schedule went something like this: 4:30-10:30 pm Sunday; 5:30a-9:30p and the new truck is ready to rollout on Tuesday.  Then Gdad and I collapse.  Kevin can't collapse - he has to work!  And Lori's dad's surgery went well.  I think he may come here next to recover for a couple of weeks.  Yup!  Gizoo is thumping along!  OMG!  I'm hearing noise about another GGbaby!  More on THAT later!
