Day Two

Success again! I managed to find and log in to the blog a day after setting it up. I was a little worried about that. I tend to have a great deal of ability to start things but less ability to follow up.
Traveling is exhausting. We had a great time with the extended family. Everyone was so kind. The girls enjoyed getting to visit all the relatives. Four babies played next to each other and fought for attention from the multitude of grandparents.
Coming home is one of my favorite things. I love having my things at hand and my bed. My routine is one of my favorite things to return to. Of course, at this point in life, my routine includes departing from routine more than returning to it.

We travel all the time. We travel down so many roads. Some days we travel on the bike, just the two of us. Other days we ride the road in a pack. Then, days like yesterday, we roll in the comfort of the SUV packed with our "little" family. Roads are a beautiful metaphor for life. Yesterday's road was straight, made for speed. Most days I travel a road with many curves. There are thrills in the curves and comfort in the intimate knowledge of the curves. I think God enjoys watching us tackle the curves and speed of life. He enjoys watching and guiding us, like we enjoy holding our children's hands as they learn to walk.
