Craving Ordinary

Our weekend was crazy. Our last two weeks have been fairly crazy. Some of the lunacy is purely circumstantial based on how dates
including Easter and Spring Break fall on this year's calendar. The flu hit the female population of our household hard, only to be followed by infusion day and the advent of Spring allergies. The kids have been to Houston, and the Arkansas grandparents have been here. Zach and Katie have been near inseparable on the days Katie was in town. Evan and his pals have trekked up and down the street between our house, Leo's, and the park over and over. Erin has trailed her siblings, visited her own friends, created her blog, and had holes poked in her head. Our beat-up, worn-out bedroom floor and car have both been replaced. Evan has reached the teen years with the arrival of his thirteenth birthday last night at a quarter to ten o'clock. I admit to a feeling of relief that the birthdays, holidays, and visits are behind us as we move into an almost typical week. I love ordinary.
