Getting It All Together

Since I returned from my, VERY FUN, trip it’s been all business!  The younger kids were SO happy to have me come home and had a million things to show-and-tell me.  It made me realize the wisdom of a friend’s words when he pointed out that I should think about staying a few days away from the house.  I hadn’t thought about how the little kids are really on me.  I’m always picking them up and they climb into my bed in the middle of the night.  Luke-Xavier can be physically demanding (in a very sweet way….of course!).  So, I’ve arranged to stay with friends for the first 2 days after surgery.  We’ll see how it goes after that.  I’ve been so fortunate to have many people offer to help out.  This means that I can go in today without worrying how my kids are getting to or from school, what they will be eating or who they will be with.  I think that this has all been a beautiful example of how important community really is!  It’s also a wonderful example of how life as a military family can work.  

Thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers and to everyone who has offered a meal or a hand with the kids.  My family and I are truly grateful and thankful!

Have a great day~
