Olle is at Covenant Pines this week and I don't know if this is true of all families, but it feels like when one of our family members is gone life just moves at a different pace and everything is a little 'off'. We also had a very full week with something each evening and recovering from vacation :)
But in the midst of the "weird" feeling, my take away from this week was the small pockets of extra time I got to spend with Lucy and Sigge.
Let's talk about the Forrest Frank concert. This was a core memory maker for me as a parent. I actually can't even fully describe it because it was so special and magical to experience this with Lucy by my side. The entire night was a powerful reminder of God's presence and the hope we can have in this next generation of Jesus followers.
Why is corn so beautiful? There is nothing more midwest than a field of corn. Simple beauty in the dog days of summer. Haley and I drove out to Sally's to run around her country roads and it felt so good to not see a car, to smell the farms and to be surrounded by corn for 9 miles.
And then there's this little nugget. We spent SO much time together this week. He was my constant side-kick on each and every errand and adventure. And then, I think because he was so used to spending his days with me was extra clingy at night -- lots of snuggles and lap sits.
I am soaking up these last weeks of summer before heading back to Bethel this fall. This has been the best summer. full of noticing all the happy things around me.
