caught up on the events of the last few days here. (they will be posting over the next couple hours)

but not caught up on my heart.

that doesn't feel good. i'm feeling all "stopped up" inside and it needs to get out.

but there's not time. i feel on the verge of a panic attack most moments these days.

but He gets me through each moment...moment by moment.

focusing on being thankful. and smiling. both of those things help :-)

lots to process. rebekah finishing elementary school. just had lincoln tested today for ell (because english isn't his first language) and he qualified. which means he'll go to all day kindergarten next year instead of half. i'm sadder than i expected. but prayed a LOT that the "right" thing would happen. i'm choosing to trust that it's the right decision. we're so close to the year mark...a year since we left to go to africa...a year since i left my baby for 3 weeks...a year since we came home and became a family of 8. lots to process....watch out :-)

for now, off to swim team and a baseball game and softball practice!!!
