Listening to frenzied news reports coming from the southeast, I'm thanking God I don't live there anymore, with all due respect to my dear friends in Summerville, SC. I just don't think given the events of our lives these days I could take a hurricane on top of it all.
Swirling here at home is our own frenzy of activity as we sort out calendars, make plans, and otherwise prepare for a hurricane to hit the Kirklands. Yukon's surgery has been scheduled for October 12; Hawaii has been put on hold (this fact will undoubtedly hit me later); Wolf got in a fight today at school; Bear said he likes the dog better than me.
Sigh. It's been one of those days.
But.
But, our friends, as usual, have been undeniably fantastic with offers to take Bear, make us dinner, and otherwise soothe the soon-to-be crazed family Kirkland. We'll make it. We did it before, and we can do it again.
Everything happens for a reason. And perhaps the best reason of all is to show us how resiliant we truly are as a family.

Seems hurricanes are hitting every where these days! We've had several unexpected and tragic deaths in our church family, grandson (20) stranded in Florida after a trip to the Bahamas (thank God he got out before it hit there) and illness in our family...........
So sorry to hear of Yukon's upcoming surgery. I hope this fixes his elbow once and for all. Sounds like Wolf is settling in, and Bear is being a normal kid!
And sorry for you that your Hawaii trip is on hold. But you're going to emerge from this storm intact and stronger.
Blessings my friend.
If you were never put into a position to be brave, courageous and strong, you never would be those things. I see that you have figured out that it is those times that are hard that we have to stop and be thankful, that show your true character.
And, o.k. seriously, how cute is Bear's expression in that top photo, love it!
