It's been a lovely first few days with the Edlers...so rich to be with people who have been your people for a long time and through an awful lot...especially good to see the kids never miss a beat and go right back to brother and sistering. They're having such a good time together, and play together so well...always someone to entertain!
Matt and Bill spent the day at the office as Bill tries to finish marking for the semester that Emmaus finished WELL despite not seeing how that could be possible, and we took the kids to an indoor play-place and they ran wild for hours with each other. Tonight the men are off at a sci-fi movie and the kids are all as wiped as the moms.
Each day someone has helped me...dropped warm dinner on our porch, stopped by with some coloring books or warm clothing for the kids, sent a note and some muffins. As these worlds all meet, I'm just so thankful for friends and His help.
Being with the Edlers makes me wish so many things were different. But if things aren't...I'm thankful to be with this dear family these sweet days, and laughing and crying and remembering and praying, together.
