Vacation

Well, I've got three hours to kill on a layover at the large and chilly O'Hare airport, on my way to Pittsburgh.  So, the natural thing to do is to pay $6.95 so I can get on the internet and write a blog post again, right?

I actually want to write a series of posts of happenings lately that include photos.  If this happens?  It will be fun.  We'll see.

I'm gonna start with my last vacation in February.  A mini-vacation, really.  I took a long weekend and advantage of a great Southwest sale to visit one of my dearest friends in life and favorite families.

We didn't really do much.  And that may have been the best part.  I mean, we ate Chick-Fil-A (twice), some really great Mexican food, and we went to church, and to the park, and a BK playland, ... and, well, Walmart... and that was about it!

Selah Dawn is the youngest of the three.  She loves me, she really does.  :-)  Precious little darling was wearing an outfit I sent for her birthday while she tore apart my wallet.  Yes, simply precious.

Titus is a little Monster truck all on his own... has become way more verbal than when I saw him last, and is hard to get still for photos.  :-)

Then there's this girl.  Five and absolutely amazing.  So proud to be her "Auntie Sarabody".

Her theology needs some work, but she's learning!

Love these kids!!!

Nate's farewell statement included, "thanks for doing life with us for a few days".  And I couldn't have asked for anything more.  I sure miss doing life with them here in Minnesota.  But at least when I visit them in Texas, I get to wear flip-flops instead of snow boots.  I won't complain about that!
