The One Where We Choose The Long Way Around

This morning, we joined Al & Joanne and their family at their church picnic in the park. It was fun to sit outside in the sunshine and sing a bunch of old familiar songs. We left just as the three-legged races were getting started, and their kids were right in there helping out - it was so great to see.

There were lots of sad hugs - these visits always seem so short - but I'm sure we'll be back as soon as we're brave enough to fly with a baby. Hannah is considering YWAM in New Zealand in January, and she was so sad when she realized she might be gone already when we come back with the baby. Kind of strange to join a family at this point, when my nieces and nephews are so close to grown up and starting to leave.

We drove home the pretty way - through Cache Creek and Hope - which added an extra hour and a half but was totally worth it for the views (made much more enjoyable because I wasn't the one driving!). And now we're 'home' again in Abbotsford, but off to Langley soon to catch a movie with Jason & Amy. I know, I know. We're so busy and fabulous. It's hard to stay put when we have so many people to see and our time with them is so limited, it's tempting to just keep going at a ridiculous pace. Tomorrow should be pretty quiet, then we fly back on Tuesday afternoon / evening.
