there were signs that Joelle was home...and they made my heart so happy to see them! first there was the laundry spilling over the sides of the bucket...who knew lugging that to the car would make me so excited!
then there were the extra shoes on the mat, the study materials, the frying pan in the sink and the egg consumption surging for a week...
and then the ball of yarn?? umm....didn't see that one coming...the girl went away to school and came back with a hook and yarn and a cozy blanket taking shape! she just makes me laugh...and her grandmothers must be proud, considering the knitting/crocheting/sewing gene is no where to be found in me...boo hoo...
after a lovely and blessed Thanksgiving holiday, Joelle had four wisdom teeth extracted....she was a trooper...and it was an unexpected blessing to clear my week and care for her each day she was home. really was. love her so much and cherished the time spent. then, at the end of the week i deposited her back at school and we were both happy to have that surgery out of the way. thankful it was complication-free! i got her permission to post the pic below, and believe me, it's the best of the ones we took! how kind of me! :) just thought it'd be fun to look back on in a decade, perhaps.
looking forward to seeing her again in a few weeks at a tournament!
