Home again, Home again, Jiggety-jig!


Well, we are home, and we're not quite up to jigging, but we are glad to be here. Audrey and Neal got the down-in-the-dumps, stay-in-bed-for-5-days-with-a-fever flu while we were in California. Heaven knows where they contracted it, but of course this is the year we didn't all have flu shots. I had one, only because of a lucky visit to the doctor, but we skipped it for the rest of them this year, and now, of course, we are regretting it!
So our trek home was less than fun, what with my husband's muscles mostly out of commission because of sickness. Luckily, Parker is still his cheerful little self, hopefully he'll stay flu-free this season, and if he gets it, I promise not to complain about it on my blog!

But as my incredible dad and my incredible husband gave my little girl a peaceful and beautiful blessing this morning, I couldn't help but feel Heavenly Father's arms wrapping not only around my Audrey's sick little frame, but around our whole family. How blessed we are to have our families and airplanes so we can go to visit them. And how blessed I feel to know that we are loved beyond measure by so many wonderful people, here on earth and elsewhere, too.
