Bottles: check! Formula: check! Bibs:check! Diapers:check! Clothes:check! Favorite blanket and toy: check! The list goes on and on. A lot of planning goes into traveling with a wee one. It takes being organized and well prepared, but in the end it is worth it.
Right now miss Piglet and I are in the midst of a vacation visiting my family and friends in my hometown. All in all it has been a lot of fun so far. I have seen lots of friends and I am getting to catch up in person. Facebook and blogs are great for staying in touch, but there is nothing quite like getting to see and hug good friends.
I love living where we do, and all the new friends that I have made, and I think it will be a great place for miss Piglet to grow up. I think she will have some wonderful friends and will know that she lives in a special part of the country. Yet, there is nothing like coming home and visiting my old stomping grounds, seeing people that I love, and the landscape that I miss.
Being here reminds me that God has a plan and that He puts people in our lives for different amounts of time. Some are only in our lives for a season, and some are in our lives for the duration and it doesn't matter how far apart we live, we can still be friends.
Vacationing is great, it is relaxing and a time to just get away, see new (or old) things and take some deep breaths. So, for everyone preparing for Spring Break vacations I pray for safety, fun, and a lot of wonderful memories to cherish.
