Switching Places........

Well, good-bye Xanga and hello Blogspot! I have missed blogging over the past 3 months but was probably too busy to sit down and put any connected thoughts together at that time anyway. And when Bethany made the switch and Bec & Ben already being here, it seemed the logical thing to do. Plus, I just challenged a group of preschool moms to journal, right? So the writing continues on.....

I heard the sound of spring this morning while my head was still buried in a pillow. Birds. Birds chirping and calling to one another. They used to drive Jeff crazy when they would wake him up at pre-dawn, but today I loved hearing their racket! My love of winter faded several years ago and spring couldn't come a day sooner.

Cathy, her crew and myself spent part of the weekend at Rebecca's and loved every moment we could spend with Harper Grace! The child is such a delight. God is so gracious is giving us Harper to love and is using her to teach not only Bec and Ben about Himself but me, too. After not seeing her for about 6 weeks during January, the past 2 weekends have been a blessing with more to come next weekend.

The more Harper changes and grows, the more I have missed Bethany. Phone calls and emails and blogs and pictures are wonderful but I just miss the physical presence of both she and Allen. She will flip when she sees how much her niece has changed! And I know God is at work in her life while they are in Orlando. That is a comfort but I still miss her. Hopefully they might try to make it home sometime in March.

Jon is home for the weekend but our paths haven't crossed much. I was gone and then he was helping a friend care for a family of 4 boys. Hopefully today we can hang out together. The boy has been such a delight lately and I continue to marvel at where God has him, not only location, school, housing and job but how God is growing him up! He is a responsible boy and his Dad would be proud of his boy.

Ok, enough for one post. Hopefully I will get some pictures up of the family and keep this updated.
