Home sweet home. Sort of anyway. I think no matter where we go, Texas will always feel like home since we both spent our first 18 years here. We’ve been here since Sunday and have been enjoying spending time with friends and family, as well as shopping at some of our favorite stores like Target and Hobby Lobby. And I can’t deny that I’ve already been to Chick-fil-A twice, and will most likely enjoy a few more meals there before we return to Nicaragua.
We’ll be here through Sunday and then we head up to Norman, OK on Monday for a week. We’re pretty excited to spend time with friends there, and Chase is looking forward to playing with the Wildwood worship team on Sunday.
Then, we’ll be heading to NYC to visit family and meet our new (well, 8 months old) nephew. We always love going to NY, and this time, I’m sure, will be no different.
I guess “The Traveling Russells” doesn’t apply too frequently these days, but for the next 3 weeks, I guess it is fitting to be our blog title. I think we are still on the lookout for a new one, but just can’t seem to come up with the perfect one…any ideas?
At my last doctor’s appointment, I was FINALLY given permission to go back to the kids service, so after about 9 months of missing these sweet faces, I was more than ready to see them all again! Most people get one little baby at the end of their 9 month wait…I got about 200 kids! Unfortunately, I had to wear a mask.
When I was explaining to Cisney (above) why I was wearing the mask, it went something like this.
Me: Well, you have an immune system that protects your body from infection, right?
Cisney: No (shaking head)
