Recently, we have been faced with changes and new beginnings:
Austin left for MIT.
Hailey and Hope went to work at their new cleaning business they
started together.
Andrew and Dave made and shot off a potato canon (Wow! It was
crazy-loud and powerful!)
Hannah and Amanda started their new
“official” dog care business together. (my babies!)
Hannah and Amanda also started riding bikes with hand brakes—no
more little bikes for them!!!
Hope ran 19 ½ miles!!! (she missed a day of training during the
week b/c it was 88 and full sun by the time she woke up—she ran two on the
treadmill, but was bored beyond tears and biked six. She made up yesterday’s
run this am and today’s run this pm!)
We all (minus Austin, but we thought of him frequently!) made
marshmallow shooters and had a marshmallow war. Our dogs had a great time
cleaning up after us!
Hailey took the ACT, swam for
hardware in West Michigan Relays, and then finished at her part time job at a
local ice cream shop.
(deep breath!)
Such is a day in our life.
Our days are full. Our dinner table is not. Even when we had
Austin’s friend over for dinner, I felt that we were missing someone…Hailey
asked who wasn’t there, and my first response was that she
was…where???...who???...then I realized we were all together. Now we
have a real opening at the table. Our lives are busy and full—I am not lacking
anything! And yet…
I will be content with all things—but change is normal—and what
will tomorrow’s normal be???
Praying for what God has in store for us!
All my best,
Amy
