It's been a nice visit with Linda, my mother-in-law. As I've said before, she's the greatest! The biggest challenge has been to get her to simply rest and hang with the gandkids. She's always wanting to help with a project. When you only get to see them once in a while...your project is that little kid running around like a nut and the little girl who's not too far behind! It's been fun to see them interact.
Her arm is doing well. She's a good patient and keeps the wound good and clean. And if it hurts her, she doesn't let on. That's why she's BABS!
We went for a nice family walk this afternoon. Izak pushed the double stroller back from the park (which includes a huge hill to climb) for about a mile. He was pretty insistent on doing it and didn't want any help. So whoever was stearing had to do it so that he didn't notice. When we got home, his little face was read and filled with sweat...he worked hard!
This evening, Grandma played with Izak, Libby went to bed, and Mom and Dad went on a date! I took Heidi to a little pub in Libertyville, which was great! It's nice to catch up together.
As crazy as our life has been the past few months, we've done a pretty good job getting out to reconnect -- probably about 7-8 times in 3 months...not bad considering the situation -- 2 kids, pregnant, new town, new job, etc. We usually just find somewhere to eat at a slow pace and enjoy whatever conversation comes up.
I had Diet Coke with caffeine...thus I'm up writing this blog...
I'm making some good headway on hiring a Worship Arts Pastor/Director. I'm excited about a couple of strong prospects. They will be coming in for visits in the next month...hopefully. I have an overwhelming sense that God is up to some good stuff within the Northwest community...and I get to be a part of it!
that's the scoop for now...
Peace,
