November 11

After spending an extra day in Chicagoland, we got up at 2:40 central time this morning, the menfolk donned their new "Bruh" shirts, and we drove to the airport to catch the first of our two flights back home. 

The planes were packed with travelers, but we finally rolled into our driveway at around noon Pacific. Home at last! Thank you God for on-time departures and patience with children who shouted and yelled throughout the second leg. 

And thank you God for keeping Isaac safe and content while he was home alone for the past few days. He did a wonderful job of fending for himself and even cleaned up the kitchen.

There's certainly more I can say, but honestly, I'm exhausted.
