Many people ask me whether I want to move back to family. And the answer is always complicated. I have settled into life down south. The Lord has blessed us with a good church and many friends. And yet, I am looking forward to being able to see Grandparents during the week and on weekends and to being able to walk to a handful of friends' homes for playdates. It was so good to see the new church building and grow excited about the work God is doing. Soon we'll get to be a part of that again. But for now, we have our own unique purposes here down South.
We had a sweet Mother's Day celebration in Rockford with my hubby's family. I couldn't have asked for a more lovely day. We saw friends at church and enjoyed one last meal before heading to see my family. We relaxed (and recovered -- we picked up a bug on the plane) during the week while Rodney worked. We even got to go on a date to a close friend's wedding. Abigail stayed behind with Grandma and Grandpa, her first bedtime without mommy and daddy, and did great! She is already missing Camus, Cobi, and Salem (and her grandparents too!)... The airplane rides were relatively uneventful, but one traveler did comment, "Wow, she really is squirmy!" Thankfully, she's also cute and very sociable - her saving grace:)
I actually didn't take very many pictures during the week, but here are a few of the highlights.
Happy Mother's Day!!!
