In the last three weeks Brian has been home for one crazy day which was Olivia's b-day. Thus, I have not been blogging. I long to have more time to share thoughts, life, and experiences, but such is not my life right now.
Thankfully the kids and I were able to go to Madison this past week for a few days. We visited the capital again which the kids still think is great. We had a picnic each day we were there. We went to the zoo one day and spent another morning playing together at a park. It was great to see Brian in the evenings and I was happy to do so many fun outings with the kids!
We finished up school last week and are planning an end of the year celebration soon. Gabriel is very happy to be officially in first grade! I am thankful for the break and am looking forward to our summer activities and my fall prep.
God is continuing to be so faithful to us and I know I wouldn't have been able to get through the last few weeks if it weren't for so many dear friends prayers and their offerings of help. I can't explain how God used their phone calls of, "Bring your kids over for dinner so you can pack." or "Why don't you and the kids come for dinner tonight. " Really, it is humbling how our friends have given so much to help us through this challenging time. God is so good and just when I need help, he is faithful to provide. My heart is filled with gratitude that we are walking this path right now. While it is not easy, our family is seeing firsthand God's tender and thoughtful care which makes the daily challenges well worth it! I feel thankful for our circumstances when I hear my little daughter say, "Isn't it great how God is providing all these friends to take care of us while Daddy is gone?" These are lessons so much better taught though experience than words alone.
