Thank God for Laughter

We had the BEST weekend! Nothing planned, just a soccer game on Saturday afternoon, but we had a lot of fun as a family just being together the whole weekend - went for a drive Saturday morning, visited some friends, ran errands together, heard a GREAT sermon in church (you could listen to it too, at www.rcefree.org), went to a birthday party, played games - and for some reason, we all had the giggles all weekend. So tonight in our bedtime prayers, Mark thanked God for laughter, which was so appropriate. It felt good to laugh together so much, and it just bonds you.

This week ends Jack and Noah's preschool career - they have regular school tomorrow, then a big field trip on Wednesday and a short "Graduation Chapel" on Friday morning. It's a little bittersweet for me, as next year my babies will be in all-day kindergarten and I'm not sure what I'll do with myself - being alone all day!! And believe me, it will be NOTICEABLE not having them around. But I have all summer to figure that out . . . . This week also marks the beginning of CAMPING SEASON!! We go pick up our camper on Wednesday, and are headed to the Badlands for Memorial Day weekend. I'm hoping my mouth has recovered by then - this recovery period has been grueling - my mouth is still quite sore, and I'm still not able to eat very well. On the bright side of it, though, I've lost 5 pounds since Wednesday!! I call it the "molar extraction diet." Wouldn't recommend it, though!
