let's go fly a kite

flying a kite is interesting business. it seems so fun and exciting and cool if you have a really cool kite, which we do. i'm guessing hot-z cleaned out the trunk of her car and found an eagle kite that we had at our old home that must have got left in her trunk when she helped us move. she dropped it off today, and the next thing we knew, one of our boys (k) was looking at it and trying to put it together. it has been a windy day but not overly windy. we finally, after a long time of trying, got the kite up in the air. i think that's the most exciting part is when it finally gets on the right gust of wind and takes flight. i don't think we have ever flown a kite where we thought we had long enough string, regardless of how long it was.

michael was told by k after the experience that every boy should have a dad who does that with him. i'm sure michael knows how to fly a kite because his father showed him. i remember flying a kite with my mom before i was 5 years old. k had never flown one before. i'm glad he got to today.

back to blogger

my world has been one big whirlwind since the last time i blogged. of course i'm thinking anyone who was possibly reading this blog has given up on it, but as the writer of this blog, i have missed it tremendously. at first stuff was going on that i couldn't blog about but it was the only thing on my mind, so i couldn't come up with anything that wasn't related to this huge directional shift that God has moved us towards. i think finally our feet have landed safely on the new path, but it's been a crazy ride to get here - so many emotions and feelings and new things. i'm so excited about this new journey in our great adventure.
