Before the New York adventure begins, I have three lovely days in Bend with my sweet family.
Quotidian days where they allow me to join them in their daily life. The pre-school and after-school shuffle, with slow days in between enjoying my dear daughter in law who is always so welcoming. A little conversation, a little running errands, a little tv watching.
Lego building, karate, reading books. The years of story time are past, yet we settle together with our own current chapter books.
Austin shares his latest musical learnings, and Jonas does art.
Lisa cooks fabulous love-filled meals, and Jacob cleans up afterwards.
Today it snows, as it likes to do when I visit.
Tonight is pizza and a movie.
This is a good vacation.
