Behind the Scenes is coordinated by Crystal, who helps remind us that life is real - not just what you see in our perfect excerpts on facebook, or twitter, or instagram (I don't even know how to do that!).
So, you post the picture, and then you tell the REAL story, and share with the gang over at Crystal's place. Ready? Good. This week, I present "The Postcard"

And The Story:
I got this in the mail this week. Made my heart melt. My girls have been away for TWO LONG WEEKS. I am missing them something fierce. (Side note, I am in the final 26 hour countdown until I can hug their necks .. Thank you, Lord, for getting me through!) The message (translated for spelling and spaces) = we saw some pioneer things and Indian things. Poiner looks like Poineh and this reminds me of HOME (where I grew up ... northeastern accents... yay!) I laughed, and cried, when I got it. Laughed for the fun they're having with grandma and grandpa, and visiting cousins and family and making memories, and for the hilarious accent reminder of my own Nana, who with her Boston roots never met an R at the end of a word that she wasn't willing to dispense with. And cried - for how much I have been missing my kids since they left. Note to self, two weeks seems to be way too long for this mama to be without my littles. They will be a foot taller at least when I see them. Summer flies way too fast. Can't wait to get them home and slow things down a little.
