this week starts the second semester for matthew. we've been living in dream land with him home in the days and only working in the afternoon and evenings. but this all will change...very soon.
when he is gone, for 5 hours at the most, the kids are completely undone. each of them taking turns crying over him being gone, wanting him to come home. we'll all go into shock when he's gone for whole days.
but it's been a good break. time to reset. time to take a legitimate break. time to be just us...and have new people enter our life.
i think the first semester here was mourning the loss of what we left, being in shock actually at all that happened, trying to find our bearings. but this semester feels different. we're setting roots, as shallow as they may be right now. we're investing here. the kids are adjusting. and we will wait to see what the next semester brings.

You sound brave and optimistic. I hope this semester can be a time for growing and learning as a family.
I bet that mom's group can't wait to have you all join! : )
Hi Godshalls! I will be in Louisville February 16th and 17th. I would love to get together with you guys sometime in those couple of days. I think it would be a very good thing...
Talk to you soon!

PS: You guys are great!
And please forgive my name on here...I have no idea why it puts my name as that. It's very confusing to me, and I have never been able to figure out why it calls me that, or how to change it.
