Dropping Claire Off

After having a few special days with Claire at home, we were all up bright and early this morning to get ready to leave.

On this dark, rainy, "oh so very wet" day, Dave and I are headed to vacation while Claire is headed to JV Kid's camp in Croatia.

The skies were literally dumping buckets of rain as I dropped Claire off at the JV office in Frydlant to meet up with other JV staff she'll be driving down with.

With a van load of passengers and supplies, they'll drive 8 hours today, down to a camp on the border of Slovenia and Croatia where the kids will arrive tomorrow, Monday, to begin a week of kid's camp.

Dave and I are also headed to Croatia, but further down south to our beloved Hvar region. Let's hope there are some sunny skies down there, in contrast to these rainy ones here!

We won't see Claire again here as we'll still be on vacation when she gets back to Frydlant. She'll have just a couple of days at home before returning to Chicago to continue her support raising process.

So glad she gets this touchpoint with the JV Kids that she'll be coming to serve soon! Her hope and prayer is to be back by the end of the year. We're all hoping for that!
