The Lion's Roar

This weekend we went to a retreat with Luther's residency program. It was at the Dells about an hour and a half North from us. It was great to get to the check in counter and have them say your paid in full without getting out a credit card:). The retreat was at the Kalahari, it's a huge hotel and with an even bigger indoor water park. Anyway, it was great to get away, Selah did well she played all day and slept all night and long into the morning. I think the blackout curtains helped, so when I got home I stabled a sheet to the window in her room behind all the cute curtains in the hope she'll sleep long into the morning at home.:). One of Luther assignments while he was there was to come up with a skit with his fellow first years. They did a take off of the Wizard of Oz. Luther was the Lion and he did a great job he roared so loud he scared one of the kids watching. The word on the street is that it was the best skit ever. We made his costume the night before with a little material and a hot glue gun. It cost 60 cents to make and we had such a good time coming up with it together. Sometimes when Luther and I do things together I forget were married because were such great friends. I know corny but it's true. The last night we were there we took Selah on the Lazy river and into the wave pool at the water park she loved it!!! Luther held her on his chest face up so she could see all the crazy stuff on the ceiling while I directed the double inter tube. It was fun to have a family moment like that, it helped me to see pass the crying, the floppy head, and complete dependancey and see the light at the end of the tunnel where were a family doing fun things together.
