This time it is styrofoam packing peanuts. All crumpled up and thrown all over the basement. Can we say "static." Yup - we have vacuumed and swept and vacuumed and swept and those little bits are everywhere. Thanks, mom. :o) Someday when they are grown I am going to pack a kit and give it to their children with instructions to fling to their hearts content: powdered sugar, ashes, moon sand, cooked noodles, and packing peanuts. I might find a few extras to throw in for good measure.
On a different note: Seth has been thinking of others a LOT lately. It makes me weepy happy. This has been a long time in coming for him, so I am very thankful that God is softening his heart towards others and teaching him generosity of spirit. He has really been loving on Gavin and looking out for him.
Last night we ran to Panera to get bagels for Andrew to take in to work. They were slicing them and packing them for us, and one of the managers was so taken with Seth and Gavin that she gave them a package of free cookies. :o) (And they had cookies and candies for breakfast today.)
Andrew is pretty stressed out and really really busy right now. New job, pre-deployment stuff, 2 term papers for his masters class... The good news is we FINALLY got our closing done on our house refinancing after them canceling on us 3 times. Hopefully he can really enjoy being home next week as we celebrate Jesus and the Good News that he brought for all of us. Really praying for peace. Someday there will be no more war, no more husbands leaving their families to keep the fighting from coming here. No more families torn apart by violence. No more fear. Someday. It is so good to remember that Jesus came for us.

Hey! I didn't put in those peanuts. The UPS store did.
