We're back!!

We have actually been back for almost a week now, but if you have ever been away from your "home" for 2 weeks, you know what it takes to get settled.

We owe a lot of thanks to the Lord for keeping us safe on our 13 hr drive to PA and the 13 hr drive back to Wisconsin. He kept us safe and helped us get to PA without sitting in any traffic (I think this was the first trip there we didn't sit in any traffic). We also made it back to Wisconsin without sitting in any traffic either. I'm very thankful for that b/c Kaleb was getting a little fussy around Chicago and that would have been terrible sitting in traffic there.

Anyways, about our trip.... Kaleb and I (Naomi) had a great time with our family, nephews, nieces, aunts, and cousins. Kaleb really enjoyed getting to play with his cousins (who adore him) outside, every day. We went to the local park, went swimming, caught up with some old friends, spent time with his grammy and pappy great, loved and spoiled by his Nana and Pa and Gram and Pappy Cahill. We have lots of pictures to post once we can gather them from various family members.

Dan also had a very productive 2 weeks in Nashville. He was working of course, but not as long of hours as expected, Praise God! Kaleb and I were definitelly excited to have him back home with us, we sure missed having daddy around for that long.

So, here we are back in Wisconsin. We've got a busy few months ahead of us....the calendar is pretty busy for the rest of this month, September, and well into October. I sure hope it slows down for at least 1 week where there isn't any appointments or projects to do, but I don't forsee that happening until at least Christmas or there after. I guess this is what it means to have a family. I am often reminded by a comment made from a friend in Utah. She is a wife and mother of 4 children and she preached a message at my baby shower with Kaleb. She said, " You may think you have your day planned, with a detailed "To Do List", but don't get discouraged when bedtime rolls around and you haven't even completed the first item." This is so true... I often recall before Kaleb was born that I would have all the time in the world to spend time in Gods word, house chores, and run errands, but I must admit....there are times in my day when the only time I have alone with my God and I, is in the shower. But I know, God understands what I'm doing during the day is honoring him by raising my child (soon to be children) in an environment surrounded by his love and his grace.

Check back for some pictures! Don't have time to dig up the pictures right now, but I'll be sure to show you our adventures and fun we had.

In Christ- Always!
