Back home

Though fun while it lasted, we decided to move back home today. The conveniences of Ali's parents house will be missed - first floor master bedroom and shower, two short steps into the house (as opposed to four steps into the condo), LOTS of extra hands to help out - but we are back at the condo in hopes of staying better organized and possibly regaining some independence (mainly for Ali's sake). By no means can Ali use her left leg (probably another month yet), but for those of you who know Ali, her independence and "space" are her sanity.
We have been so blessed to have Ali's family nearby during this complicated couple of weeks, and we are forever grateful for their hospitality. It's one thing to give up your bed (and essentially the entire house) for your injured daughter and her husband, but throw a six-month-old baby and rambunctious puppy in the mix - that takes some patience!
Fortunately we continue to have an outpouring of help from both Matt and Ali's families, and we welcome them as we transition back to life in our home.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Oma & Opa (and MoMo too) for rearranging your lives so that our life was made easier. We know that God uses these bumps-in-the-road to grow our family, thus we embrace life's challenges with open arms.
