While John is off on a TeenServe trip with kids from Jacob's Well, the kids and I are off on a mini vacation to the Twin Cities! Summer has flown by and I'm looking forward to lots of fun activities for the kids this week. Leaving our duties at home behind and imposing on my parents for the week (thanks for having us, Mom and Dad!) will be relaxing and a welcome change from a crazy summer so far!
Our first order of business was a trip to the park for story time and play time. The boys enjoyed Washington Square while Eden took a snooze!
John and I were trying to remember the last time he was gone for a week without us. It was nearly 18 months ago - before he changed jobs. We feel like he used to be gone all the time - for 5-10 days. The kids never even used to ask about it because it was normal for him to be gone. This time around, in this new life, we had to explain to the boys that Dad was going for a week and why...what a difference 18 months can make. :) Thank goodness!
