December 1

Abby flew back to Chicago this morning to finish her fall semester at Wheaton. This go-round, the whole fam got up and made the trip to send her off.

But before we left, while they were all milling about the kitchen, the boys wrapped her up in a sweet sibling embrace.

They may not get along every second of every day, but I know they love and appreciate one another. And that no matter what may come, they will have each other's backs. And for that not-small blessing, I am so grateful.
