It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything. The past two weeks have been very busy around here. My sister got married October 15 (congratulations Matt and Becca!) and this past weekend Joy and I were away on a planning retreat for our Sunday school class.
The wedding weekend was crazy but great. A lot of my extended family came in for the wedding and it was the first time most of them got to see Charis. By the end of the weekend Charis was worn out, and I think her mom and dad were, too. :-) I’ll write another post in the near future with more details about the wedding.
The Sunday school retreat turned out to be a great blessing. After a week of work following late nights leading up to and after the wedding, Joy and I were really dragging by the end of the week, but once we got there the retreat was a very special time. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with such a great group of people, but more importantly it was a blessing to meet with God and to share in times of worship and prayer.
The retreat was also the first time we left Charis overnight. Joy’s mom watched her and Charis did very well. I think the night away was harder on mom and dad than it was on Charis, but it’s good to know that she can handle a night away without going berserk.
This week things are pretty much back to normal. I hope to make posts on a regular basis again now that I’ve (almost) recovered from the past two weeks.
