So, day 40. The last day of Lent. It always seems like a bit of an anticlimax! Advent leads up to Christmas Day and the last 'star' we leave is always for Christmas Day - whereas the last heart is definitely only on Easter Saturday, not Easter Day.
So, today's also a cheat. A last minute heart on a bus stop near the in-laws. And the Easter Day heart hung on the Easter tree for the table.
It's been good to visit family - to see people we haven't seen for a while, to catch up with how tall the kids have got, how they're doing with revision, which new directions the adults are taking (my life always seems a little boring at this point!), and which kids have overtaken them in some respect.
A shame not to get more time chatting with O and I - she's still struggling with the loss of her dad and the complications with her mum. And nice to spend a bit of time with C and M who are exploring fostering which is super impressive and exciting. They'll be great and be able to provide a family along the journey for kids who don't have one. H looked fed up with his revision already, which is not surprising as he's been working hard so far and S is always full of new and exciting plans, aiming high and knowing she starts from a secure family base. All good. Thanks God.
