Today was a break from driving. We spent time with our friends in Lombard, and some time with Robyn's family in Wheaton.
Robyn's aunt, grandfather, and cousin are all suffering from one sort of ailment or another. Aunt Ginny is recovering from hip replacement surgery earlier this week, Grandy is in the hospital with dehydration, and cousin Shannon came home early from school sick. Health is something we take for granted until we don't have it. I hope we leave them in better shape than we've found them.
This time on the road has afforded me the opportunity to hear some of the "darndest things" our kids say. Here is one from Meredith today:
"Dad, I spend so much time holding Moriah, or reading a book to Sander, or playing with Maggie, or telling Brinkley to come inside - will I ever get old enough that I can just relax a little bit?" Nobody said being the six and having three younger siblings was going to be a bed of roses!
