July was a busy month. When we returned home Thursday night from New York, to say Jeremy and I were both physically and emotionally exhausted would be an understatement. Before we left to come home, we got an email from Mom-mom offering to watch the kids overnight this weekend. Pop-pop is away - so their house would be empty if we wanted to basically swap houses for a night. The beauty in this plan was that Mom-mom's house was empty and quiet. Mom-mom came to our house which is not quiet and entertained our 5 children. This unexpected night away was just what we needed to rest and reconnect. Besides feeling the exhaustion of all of our travels, we are trying to figure out what our next move should be. That will be a blog post for another day. We will suffice it to say that God is challenging us and letting us know in various ways that He is not done with us. This overnight getaway was the first time since we returned home from China that Jeremy and I have gone away overnight. God's timing is perfect and we are so thankful for Mom-mom offering not only a place for us to go but watching all of the kids.
We are home now and the kids are slowly going to bed. Tyler and I played a game of hangman which led to Jonathan and Ben playing a game of hangman. Ben told us that Jonathan's word was "choo choo train".
Jonathan is doing well with his physical therapy. Getting him to wear his leg is still a bit challenging. We are praying that he will see the benefits of having 2 legs and will want to wear his leg on a daily basis.
