It's amazing how you can go away from home for seven weeks and think you've grown up so much and then come back home and realize that in some ways, things are still very much the same. Time flies.
Yesterday we painted our treehouse. After we re-modeled we had a lot of leftover parts (old siding, windows, etc.) and we always have tons of two-by-fours around here, far more than the average American family I'm sure. So Dad and Seth built a treehouse using the parts and we've been painting it for the last couple days. I must admit that it looks pretty classy now, but as I was standing up there on the extension ladder (hanging onto our "fire-pole", which is the top of a chain-link fence, for dear life) with Addie and a bucket of paint above me, I wasn't so sure that it was really that great of an idea.
I also went out to the mulberry tree to check out this year's crop yesterday afternoon. It brought back so many childhood memories - I could just hear Mom saying "you cannot go out there without shoes on" and "we're eating supper in half an hour!" Indeed, some things never change - I returned back to the house with purple hands and feet. And the best ones are still at the very top of the tree.
I think we're going camping this weekend!
God is good.
