Why are we heading north today???  Two days ago in Atlanta we were at 26 degrees in the morning, and now it&#8217;s all going beautiful.  Oh, well, it&#8217;s supposed to be nicer at home too. <\/p>\n<p>Got home at 9, put my kids to bed and hugged them a lot.  I really didn&#8217;t like being gone so long &#8211; I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ll do that again unless my family can be with me for more of it.<\/p>\n<p>Got up the next morning, and had to be on the road by 8.  My husband and I were heading to a show in Saranac, MI, at a church with wonderful, wonderful ladies I met at the Portage Lake retreat last fall.  So fun to see them!  But, (no offense, please, people at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saranacchurch.org\/\">Saranac Community Church<\/a> &#8211; you are lovely) even more fun was that we got to meet our new niece, Allison, who was born on the previous Tuesday.  My brother and sister-in-law live only a few miles from Saranac (and how lovely of them to coordinate with my concert schedule &#8211; they are so thoughtful!!), so we got to see her and the rest of my husband&#8217;s family who were visiting.  We may be biased, but Allison&#8217;s beautiful.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Then home again, and up for worship this morning.  I loved being at my home church again.  I really missed them, and really missed my band!  And now, we&#8217;re seriously tired.  Spent the afternoon lying on the couch with my kids and doing laundry from the last month.  Not glamorous, but pretty awesome all the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saranac Community Church My beautiful new niece, Allison!
