One unintended benefit of Sabrina's trip is my pleasure with the passing of summer. We are now feeling Autumn in the air, and our world feels very different than it was on Aug. 16th when Sabrina left.
I know that we have one autumn, one winter, and one spring to go.
When I talk to Sabrina on the phone, I can here her more assertive self coming out. I can tell that she has had to exercise her voice a little over the months and that is a good thing. I think as parents we sense our kids needs, and try to anticipate for them. Now Sabrina is her own spokeman.
We ordered Sabrina's Senior photo, and her yearbook. That was also fun, I know that when the yearbook will be with Sabrina for a long time.
The most common question I get asked nowadays is... "How is your daughter doing in that country in South America." It really is a delight to be so proud of my child. I can usually wax on for 10 minutes, when a one word answer would have done. I just can't help being effusive.
We ordered some siding for our house that I will be putting up over the next few weekends. I will post some photos so it isn't too much of a shock for Beenie to come home to.
