I thought it was good for us to get back together, and get their minds off what had happened. The thing is, though, since the storm, we've never had all of our kids back, and we have some we haven't been able to make contact with.
We practiced that next Monday (Sept. 5). We got the word out as best we could that if they could make it, we were going to practice. I think it helped the kids a lot to get back around their friends.
