We left Seward a little before 8 in the morning. Ethan and Laura had to get to class and we wanted to get on the road. It was an uneventful drive back with the boys and I taking several period of time to sleep and/or rest. I didn’t sleep in the car but moved to the back seat to have a different posture for a while. Once we were home I did finally sleep. The boys went to practice and Josh made supper even after we’d stopped at Hardees for lunch in the afternoon. We did end up being hungry again.

I’m not sure how we’re already over halfway through April. That’s almost halfway through the year even though I feel like we just started. At this point I just feel like it’s going to be summer before I’m moving again. This job has increased my need for walks while also decreasing the time I have to take them. And then the energy has to be there. It’s just always in the back of my mind that seasons are more rapidly now becoming years. I need my hips and knees to hopefully keep working for a while.

Ethan and Laura are supposed to be moving back in less than a month. We have worked down there but it is nowhere near ready in terms of hosting a pregnant daughter-in-law. Elianna is moving back too to work at camp. There aren’t a lot of set ups these days where you encounter situations that maintain the feel of a family business. That’s not what we are, but it does take the family to run it, or at least we all participate somehow. The trees and grass seem extra green this year. Very pretty.
