our hearts are in Seattle


Daniel is on a two-week eight-church whirlwind-trip in the Northwest, and we are really missing him back here. We are staying busy busy with all our friends, but there is a big hole in our home without Daniel. Caleb understands exactly where Papa is and why he is there, but Lucy... as simple as I try to make it, no answer I give her satisfies the hourly questionings: "Where's Papa? Can I go see him? Can I go to Seattle? Can I go on airplane now? Can you go get him now? I want Papa to come home now!" 
But we are making the most of skype. Today we just left the sound on for a few hours while Daniel made phone calls and the kids and I did our work at home. Listening in on each other made us feel like we were right in the other room. Today it dawned on me that our kids will never know the time when you couldn't have a live visual conversation long distance. I still think it's crazy that it is possible, but to them it is already old hat. 

Sorry about the reverse images. We took these with the computer's camera, and I haven't figured out how to flip them around.
