March 3

The gang's all here! (Well, we're as "all here" as we ever are.)

It's Spring Break week for Abby so she flew home from Wheaton today. When her arrival hour finally arrived after dinnertime, the rest of us piled into Adam's car to pick her up from the airport.

I don't have any grand reflections other than to say that it's really, really good to have her home. It's good to hug her and to talk to her in person and to observe the subtle ways she's changed over the past few months. And it's good to see her doing her big sister thing with Isaac and Brady. 

Family is a tremendous blessing, and I am so thankful for mine.
