Can you believe it, friends? We were away for an entire week, and not once was I online. There was something so wonderfully - quiet - about it. Yes, we got the rest we were looking for, and we made some great memories.
I'm glad to be back after a wonderful week. God was merciful to keep us safe and gave us two good flights with Lena.
I'll slowly be catching up on your blogs and all of your happenings. Much love.
When we used to get together with this particular group of friends, we would enjoy leisurely meals at restaurants, all day trips, long games of Monopoly, and movies late into the night - or early into the morning!
This time, everyone had one or two kids, so we worked everything around naptimes, ate out once (and vowed not to do it again), and were always back in our hotel room by 9 at the latest. The men sat and discussed the merits and demerits of Mary Poppins in the living room, and the women escaped for a leisurely breakfast and dessert.
But Mr. S and I agreed that seeing everything through Selena's eyes was so special. And our kids all got to know each other. And we sang hymns while the kids intoned, "Holy, Holy, Holy."

I just loved seeing your vacation pictures...what fun to enjoy all the things with Lena...
funny how our lives alter with the arrival of little ones... and how much MORE we enjoy the simple things...like seeing God's world through their eyes...
I would have loved to hear the hymns..with the little ones chiming in with "Holy, Holy, Holy...

Glad to have you back home safe and sound...
