Where to begin?

We have had a few packed weeks recently. Adventure waits us at every turn. I got to attend my first ever Freng Family Reunion. Dan's grandpa was 1 of 11 -those 11 kids had multiple children...who had multiple children....who are now having multiple children. In its hay day I guess there were Frengs by the hundreds (almost literally). There were about 50 Frengs in attendance-it was a little overwhelming to say the least. Dan comes from some interesting (in a good way) Norwegian stock! Noah was pretty excited because he has finally gotten the big-extended family that he has always wanted. He made a new friend (relative) who is actually going to be a 2nd grader at the same school as Noah. Yankton is such a small, small world. I have to get used to that again.
Brian had a head trauma a week ago-long story but he fell off of a stool he was climbing on & gave himself a concussion. Luckily, he is okay. We are supposed to keep watch for any recurring symptoms. Problem is-that boy hits his head about 10 times a day. I'm NOT exaggerating. I'm contemplating a stylish new glue-on/permanent helmet! He is affectionately known in our home as Harry Head Trauma (just between Dan & I-probably mean, but the only way to keep this boy alive until 18 may be to laugh our way through it).
Dan & I are enjoying being back in our "home country". At times, it feels a little like the Twilight Zone-but all in all it's good. The kids LOVE being with family. We miss Denver more than we ever thought possible & our awesome friends & ministry partners. Change, even good change, is hard.
I got to have a heart to heart with Noah about why God called us here. The unknown is hard, even to a 7 year old. We both agreed that God did call us here & there IS a reason. The best thing we can do is be faithful to God's calling & pray, pray, pray our way through it. Isn't that awesome that my 7 year old gets it? Sometimes I think he gets it better than I do-oh, to have childlike faith.
School starts on Wednesday & we are all ready. Except on Thursday, I'll be sad about them being gone...somehow I will persevere!
Keep praying for us.
