Singing in the Rain

We're still here.

I think.

Yes, yes... we are definitely still here. With all this rain and traveling and working and just life in general, it can be kinda tricky to tell. Then again, I know a lot of you out there know just exactly what I mean.

So last week we took off for PopPop and Nana's place with all the best intentions for resting and relaxing, while Daddy stayed behind to catch up on a boatload of work.

It started off better than according to plan. When you arrive to a triple-decker ice-cream cake made to Hope's most specific requests, how can it look like anything but blue skies?

But, just like the consistent downpour our region has been under, we woke up to viral infections that turned the forecast grey.

Between all the crankiness and cabin fever, we did manage to do quite a bit of this and that...

With some indoor pumpkin craziness to keep us entertained...

Some brave aunties and family came to visit us even with our scratchy throats. Then just before we left, we got to spend the afternoon at Uncle Billy's cheering on our VOLS.

May not have gone according to plan... then again, that is a pretty consistent forecast for this season of life. We continue to learn it's all about whether or not we choose to sing.

Come rain or shine.
