My family is in Las Vegas on vacation for about two weeks. We have been here one week so far, and I am counting the days until we go back home. I am enjoying it here, but this place is no longer home. I miss the calm and quietness that Texas offers and that can't be found here. The only things that I miss when I am not here are my grandparents. Even the convenient shopping isn't as great as I thought is would be. Everything out here is so crammed together and busy. It leaves you feeling breathless. Texas is so open, and even at lifes busiest is still calm.

Before coming to Vegas the reason that I hadn't written was that I was babysitting more than normal. I am now babysitting four kids. Most days I only have one or two of them. However, lately on Thursdays I have been babysitting all of them. The two girls that I watch (both 5) really just play with my sisters. It's the 9 month old, and the 2 year old that keep me busy. The baby is spoiled (thanks to my sisters and me) and wants to be held. And the other one is 2 years old and all boy, enough said.

Please pray for us. For our safe trip back and patience. 35 people on a two day drive is a recipe for disaster. (My family has 15, my aunt's 7, and a friend of my mom's has 13)
