A busy weekend--and a lot of thankfulness to catch up on! I am thankful that I was available on Thursday night when I got a call from Tiffany that she was on her way to the ER with Quinn who had fallen down the steps and broken his arm. Brent was on his way home from Hagerstown so she needed someone to meet her and pick up the other kids so they weren't hanging out at the hospital. I am thankful that Ryan was also home because Bill was out with the Suburban and I couldn't fit all three kids in my back seat. Ryan followed me and brought Caitlin home while I brought Grant and Jacob. I am also thankful that I had been past Harford Memorial the week before and knew where it was; otherwise, it might have been difficult for us to find it in the dark.
I am thankful that I have a job that allows me the flexibility to be able to stay home on Friday so Caitlin, Grant and Jacob could spend the night rather than Brent and Tiffany having to pick them up after midnight. Another evidence of God's perfect timing was that Dad's caregiver, Deneen, came on Friday morning to find that I was still home. Her baby had had her up half the night with a cold and she was very happy to be able to go home and back to bed!
Of course, we are all thankful for God's protection over little Quinn and the easing of his pain.
I am thankful for the three days of rain that replenished the earth. And how beautiful was the sunshine when it stopped! The weather was so beautiful on Sunday that we were able to take Dad out for a drive and, although the trees hadn't really done much changing in our area, it was still a nice drive and he enjoyed getting out and enjoying the sunshine.
It was an unusually calm Monday at school which was wonderful. We had the opportunity to meet our new senior, an exchange student from China. His host family is a home schooling family who was familiar with the school because their 14 year old son takes Bill's biology class. He is a very bright young man, with an engaging smile. He will be taking the SAT's for the first time on Saturday and is nervous about the vocabulary, but plans to apply to MIT for next year. Of course, Kim Lindner was very interested to meet and talk with him. And all the seniors are excited about having him join the class. What a wonderful opportunity all around!
God is so good!
