Re-entry

Only in my hometown!
Only in my hometown!

We left town for four days, but I swear the kids are two years older. How does that happen?

I wanted to take a little break from telling about my trip. I still have so many thoughts just swimming around and I want to do a good job of telling the stories we heard. Not much processing went on today, though, because the kids had the day off and we needed to get caught up!

So today was back-and-forth to football practice, a visit to the orthodontist, a shopping trip to buy homecoming dance clothes, and time for a ride. In other words, right back into real life, where nothing that was on your list gets done but all of it is good.

We ended our day with Chinese food and a lot of conversation. It’s homecoming week this week and somehow we will need to pack ten days of crazy into a four-day week. Plus a super-sweet certain someone is celebrating her 11th birthday this week and cakes need to be made.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more about my trip. For tonight I’ll add a picture from the spectacular evening we had–unexpectedly! we thought it would rain–and marvel at how normal it all is. Re-entry, normal life…God is so good to us.
