home (almost)

it's 3am and we're in wichita. amy, isaac, and jake are all wide awake. the rest of the house is passed out. of course, to them it feels like 3 in the morning. to us it feels like 4 in the afternoon. primarily it's joy that has us up. we slept all day yesterday. literally. we were awake for about 4 hours total. which also explains the heretofore lack of posting. it's been nice not to be all the way home just yet so isaac isn't sitting in the house the only person awake while everyone else sleeps.

speaking of isaac. he loves his sister. and she loves him. so far it's been a wonderful and peaceful meeting. he is a great big brother. it's awesome to be back with him. i still miss him, though, because our schedules are so off. he's awake when i'm sleeping and vice versa. at least for the most part. i'm hoping it's fairly well sorted out by the time we head home in the next day or two.

i'm thinking about retiring this blog in the next couple days. i'll change the URL so it's still live and available to see. like a little time capsle. i'm pretty sure i'll keep some sort of blog going but haven't settled on the details just yet. in the meantime, i'm adding a few more pics to flickr and maybe another movie or two to the journey to joy - files sight, too.

much love to you all. thanks for keeping up with us and being such great friends.
