After three weeks and almost 3,000 miles, we were all thankful to see this site last Monday!  Our next ‘Riedy Reader’ will have all the stats for you but just those numbers alone let you know that this was a busy trip!  I am proud to say that all three girls did excellent – they have all learned to pack well, keep their stuff together during these multi-stop trips, and keep themselves entertained in the car.  We could feel your prayers as we made this trip.  Sometimes I feel like we can never make it through a trip without a doctors visit – or at least a trip to the pharmacy.  Thank the Lord, we didn’t need to make any of those stops this time!  Travel is a lot of work, but it is a privilege to connect with folks about what God is doing at FamilyLife.
