Three weeks in
Eugene! (Or 2 and some change?)
During one week
we had all nine of our children in the same city (and Izaak and Dakota make 11)
- with eight of them sleeping under our roof. It was an exhilarating week.
All too quickly
three male Gherkins departed the state.
And tomorrow -
the traveling branch of the Gherkins will take off and leave three girls, a son
in a law, a grandson, an expected grandblessing, a brother and his fantastic
family, a sister,
We have lived
FULLY the past three weeks. We've had Gma and Gpa over for dinner many nights,
we've attended several gift exchanges, met geocaching goals, gotten in person
glimpses of our grandblessing, met oodles of the girls' friends, helped BreZaak
move, helped Jared purchase a car, attended three local churches and now it's
TIME.
Time to pack away
the memories and move into 2016....but first, tonight.....we'll make a couple
of more memories at Krista and Arielle's home.
Yes, this is one
of two or three things I do really miss from our "Stick and
Brick" (S&B) home. I will store
up the music and the memory and treasure it in the months ahead.
We actually do
have Snowboard Kids in the Caboose - but the chance to play with Krista and
Arielle is fleeting.
I'm reminded once
again of seasons....and the traveling Gherkins will be back in Eugene in
April/May to meet our new grandblessing skin to skin.
