Getting the Band Back Together Again

Compared to the work of July 1, July 2 was pure joy. Heather, David and Emily drove from Noblesville, Indiana (where they have been staying with Heather's parents, Tom and Sarah Clark) to join me here at our new apartment on campus. They arrived around noon as my class was breaking for lunch.

There are few things that top having my son screech "Daddy!" as he bounds out of the truck, to the sidewalk by the chapel, over to me and launches himself into my arms to give me a hug! Emily, Heather and I were equally happy to be together again, but our hugs were a little more restrained. (This is a very good thing... no matter how petite Heather is, she is still considerably heavier than David!)

Although this homecoming just ushered in a long and tiring July 4th weekend of unpacking and getting settled together again, it was a very good day!
