NYR 4-18-11 - Mac's great day

Mac had the great pleasure to play with his buddy Michael all day long today. Laura let Michael play hooky since Mac was in town and those boys had a ball. Laura took them to lunch at Outback (one of Mac's favorites), they rode scooters on the complex's basketball court, and they played video games together. Mac also had an after-school playdate with two brothers in the complex that he used to go to school with. In other words, it was a perfect day in the life of an 8 year-old boy!

And Jimmy and I enjoyed lunch with friends and a dinner out that included friends from Sao Paulo, Brasilia and Mozambique days. We had such a great time catching up.

For great days with great friends, I am truly thankful.

I am also grateful for being able to show Mac that with a little effort, we can reconnect with people that we've had to say goodbye to. It's a powerful lesson in this very transient lifestyle we're leading.
