The King Boys say good-bye to daycare

Well, it has been awhile since the last post, so I thought we might be due to share some new information. Weekend before last Sean's parents came into town, they are full-time RV'ers so they are always traveling. It looks like they are going to be parked here for about the next 3 months. It's great to have them so close for some extended time. Since they are going to be here and Sean's mom, Moogie as the boys call her, does not work outside of their home she has offered to stay at home and watch the boys while they are here. Yeah!!! The boys last day at daycare was last Tuesday. We had some mixed emotions with them leaving McCarthy CDC, we just love the daycare and all of the people there, but when the opportunity presented itself to have to boys home we just could not pass it up. It will be great for the boys to break free of the daycare structure for a few months. Alex has been in daycare since 6 weeks and Christopher since he was 8 months, so I think it will do them good to have a break. Not to mention all of the time they are going to get to spend with their Moogie. Oh, and the money we will save (Yeah!!!!!). It will take some adjusting to this new adventure, but we both really think that this is the best decision right now. Then, at the end of the 3 months we will try to get them back into McCarthy or someplace else until a spot opens up.
We have been very busy..as always. Yesterday a good friend of Mindi's from high school got married. Thanks to Moogie, we had a wonderful night out without the boys. Mindi got to see some old friends who we hadn't seen in awhile. It was wonderful to get to catch up with everyone, and the wedding was beautiful.
Next weekend we are headed to the KC Zoo with Sean's sister Stephani, her husband, Eric, and out nephew Collin, as well as Moogie and PaPaw, so I'm sure that we will have pictures to post from that trip and I would imagine some cute stories too. All of the boys have been preparing for our big trip, they are all very excited. Thanks to Steph, our boys, along with Collin, love this show called "Signing Time" which teaches sign language. So for about the past 3 weeks they have all been watching a couple of episodes on animals. It will be interesting to see how many signs they will have when we are there next weekend. Alex's favorite right now is alligator and Christopher has always liked monkey. I just can't wait to see them with all of the animals around. Until next time...God Bless.

"Have you hugged a little tiger today?" I just love this MU shirt
Christopher is trying to be sweet, but it looks more like he is putting Alex in a head lock.

We Are Adding One More!!!

Let's clear this up right from the begining...No, we are not expecting again. Apparently when I announced Stephani's pregnancy several people were thinking that we were expecting again...we are not! :) However, we are adding one more member to the Darr family. Mindi's little brother, Trevor, proposed to his girlfriend, EmmaLee Jones on Sunday morning. It is a very sweet story. Trevor was preching at our home church on Sunday on commitment. After the sermon, and invitation, Trevor announced that he had one more example of commitment to make and pulled EmmaLee up front. He told her how much he loved her and that he didn't want to spend another day without her in it, he got down on one knee with the ring and asked her to marry him. It was perfect. Obviously, she said yes! To make it even more perfect, her family had snuck in the back towards the end of the service so both of their families got to be there for the whole thing. This was not an easy task seeing as between the two of them they have 4 parents, 14 siblings and sibling in-laws, and 14 nieces and nephews. It was quite a crowd, but it was wonderful! The look on her face was priceless when she saw that her family was there as well. We had a wonderful dinner at mom and dad's afterwards, to celebrate, that everyone was able to attend too. They are planning their wedding for the Summer of 2010. This means that as soon as Katrina and Eric's are married in Summer of 2009, we will start on EmmaLee and Trevor's!
Also this weekend, we attend more festival activites. We met Mom and Dad with the boys at the parade Saturday afternoon and spent some time letting them play around at the park and on some of the rides, so there are some pictures of that as well.
Also, HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY MATT!! Our brother-in-law, Matt, turns 30 today! We are all getting together tonight for bowling! Another night out without the kids! Thanks MeMaw!! We really appreciate it!
