Ben is home again and my sister arrived with her family today so I’m feeling very happy about the world. What a difference it makes having some family around to talk to. The kids were both so thrilled to have Ben back. Daniel said some sweet things on his return. He was asking Ben why he had to go to Germany and whether he was getting old and would he get a replacement Daddy when he dies? Then he said to Ben, “Why are you getting old before I’m grown up? I need you.”
Today I took the children to Butterfly Creek, which is a fun place out at the airport. I went before my sister’s flight arrived to break up the trip and it worked really well. They have a butterfly house, crocodiles, farm animals, alligators, train and a playground.
