One Week Ago :: Friday

This is the first in a multi-part series. If things go as planned, you can see a new post here everyday for a while. Check back again soon.
This morning Daddy took Kat and Tiger to the bagel shop for a breakfast date. I hear they had a good time. When they returned home we finished packing their suitcase. Gran and Gramps were headed our way and would take them for a weekend visit. The original plan was for me to meet the grandparents halfway, but those plans changed and they drove all the way here. Gosh, that was sweet! We had a relaxing morning and I even had time to mow the lawn before they got here!
Gramps took us out to eat for lunch and during lunch Kat lost a tooth. (A little trivia for you: Half of Kat’s four lost teeth have come out while eating a subway-type sandwich.)

After lunch it was time for the oldest 2 kiddos to leave. Goodbye’s were said and George and I then turned our attention to packing HIS suitcase. We finished early enough to go out for dinner and stop by the bookstore. Then he headed to bed. Tomorrow was going to start really early for him.

I know there is not too much time to blog in your schedule. Thanks for finding time to share about your week while George was out-of-the-country on the mission trip. I think the family members remaining behind are part of a mission trip even though they are probably not asked often about their perspective or how their spouse being gone affects them. There is so much excitement and interest around the work and the details of the trip, this side of the story often goes untold.
