Well, we survived. We spent about 45 hours in the car last week driving to Michigan, around Michigan and back to Colorado... With all three kids in the car, and SURVIVED. Praise the Sweet Lord Jesus, because I wasn't quite sure if we'd make it.
It was so good to be "back home" for the week, but it is just as good to be back to our home here in Colorado after 10 days away. We missed our family- so it was sweet to spend time- no matter how spread thin our time there was.
Prior to our trip back, Keegan asked over and over and over again if we could drive past our old house. When the time came, however, he actually decided he just wanted to get to Grandma Barb and Papa Bill's house instead of taking the detour. When we finally arrived back home to Castle Rock, Keegan came skipping into the kitchen saying "I really missed our house while we were in Michigan, Mom!" What a comfort. I've wondered if he was really okay out here, since he had clung so tightly to our old house, and talked about it all the time. So precious to know that he loves this home too.
Thank you, thank you to our dear families for their generosity to us in our travels. We love you so, miss you already, and can't wait until we see you next!
To our amazing community here in Castle Rock- thank you for making this home so quickly. What a joy to have your friendships to come home to!
