Family

I am of the opinion that family comes in many forms. Anyone who knows even a little about my family tree will not find this hard to believe. There is the family you are born into, and the family you are given and the family you choose. Here in the burg we have some wonderful family. I am lucky enough to know some wonderful women with children the same age as Otto and Mette, (some just a few weeks apart! ). Together we share the good and bad of raising children. It is always good to have someone to talk to when you are thinking about selling your children to the next person you see on the street. In August Rachel and her family headed to Uruguay to soak up the culture while her husband was there on a Fulbright. While we were very excited to hear about all of their adventures while they were gone and enjoyed reading Rachel's hilarious and very well written blog, it way better having them home. They arrived home this afternoon and it was quite the hero's welcome. For a little we had three 2 year old boys, Mette and her partner in crime Jack all in Rachel's living room making sure every toy that had been neglected for the past three months saw it's fair share of action.

Things are back to normal. Feels good.
