We got back on the 8th. The boys did pretty good considering the 9 1/2 hrs we were flying. Nathanael was a little more out of sorts at times than I would have preferred, but I guess one crazy kid out of three isn't bad! Took several nights to get the kids re-adjusted to sleeping, but I think we're doing much better now. Nate still has a few sleeping issues, but he had those while we were in England, and I think it will take a little longer for him. Mark will hopefully come sometime closer to the end of the month. We're all REALLY ready to have him back with us.
The Lord provided a car pretty quickly and relatively easily for us. A family friend sells cars and really helped us out since I pretty much had to do it all with Mark still being in Bristol. Definitely not my choice to be dealing with all of that, but God was merciful and I made it through. We got it this past Wednesday... and so we've joined the mini-van club! Bound to happen I guess!
We went to Vacation Bible School at my parents church this past week. It happened in the evenings and was called Fam-Jam so the parents participated too. I really liked that format as opposed to dropping your kids off. The church is focusing on creating a partnership with the parents, recognizing it's the parents' primary responsibility to be the godly influence for their children and not to be left up to the church. Anyway, the boys had a really great time. I'm glad we got to participate.
Hudson loves to fish when we're at Pappy and Oma's. Oma took him a few days ago and he caught three little ones. I think he was a little disappointed, but it was fun to catch something. Then Pappy took him one morning a couple of days later and they caught some real whoppers! Two pretty big catfish. They all thought it was super cool to look at them, but none of them wanted to be too close as you can tell in the pictures. Nate actually tried to run away.
