Detox and Technology

We had a great trip last week to San Antonio, TX for a Pastors conference. Grandpa and Grandma Wondergem stayed at our house with the kids. They had a blast and Noah claimed every time that we called that he wanted us to stay away longer. This week however I am now dealing with what friends of ours call "Grandpa and Grandma Detox", you know learning what the word "no" means all over again. Elli especially thinks that the world revolves around her and what she wants. Slowly, daily she is remembering what Moms rules are like. We are truly greatful that we have wonderful parents who are willing to tire themselves out for a week so that we can relax and rest. We were also able to visit some good friends from seminary who live in Houston and stay with them a few days. We really enjoyed catching up. This was the first chance I got to see Keri since graduation. Loren and Rob stayed in touch via email but we discovered through both of our Apple computers we can now talk via video mail. Even though it's been around awhile it was really cool to talk to them so soon after our visit in a "semi- real" fashion. Technology is cool.
