February 19 – “Mommy’s home”


What a Saturday.  Pretty full day.  Caleb had a basketball double header.  During one of the games his other set of grandparents showed up from Crosby, followed within a few minutes by his Mom and Dad.  AnnaGrace’s face when she saw her Mommy was priceless.  Sheer joy.  Mommy’s home.

After the second game we all went over to Jason’s Deli for lunch.  It’s one of their favorite hang out spots.  Food was pretty good.  Typical deli sandwich, but I had some Irish Potato Soup that was amazing.  Know what I’ll order next time for sure.  After enjoying an ice cream cone and/or a root beer float (made from the free ice cream machine and the free refills root beer dispenser – told you it was worth the trip), we headed back to the gym for Zak’s basketball game.  It was a close, hard-fought affair, with the lead exchanging hands numerous times.  Zak’s team ended up losing, but only after their two ball handlers had four fouls apiece and were physically exhausted.  Nice games, Zak and Caleb.

The evening hours proved a bit more relaxing.  After a fine supper of spaghetti, Josh figured out how to us the new YouTube TV.  They don’t have cable, but this new invention allowed us to watch some of the Olympics and a lot of college basketball.  Great way to spend an evening, wouldn’t you say?  Oh, we did do a little switching around of rooms for the night with the addition of Christi’s mom and dad.  Hey, we gotta get ready for living on the road for the next week, right?  Well, not on the road, literally.  That would be camping.  That’s not happening …

Psalms 34:1 says, “I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.”

Father, thank you for extended families and grandchildren rallying points.  Oh, and for Mommy getting home.  Nothing quite as special as that.  Amen.
