My Mama's heart is happy because all of my children are once again under one roof - our home. Its so good to have everyone here. And I love that I know it will be weeks and not just a couple of days (not that the couple of days aren't also wonderful!) I just thrill with knowing that we have time. Time to play. Time to talk. Time to hang out. Just time.
As the days pass and years go by, things obviously change. Change can be challenging. Sometimes good and other times just hard. Sometimes the changes that look the most difficult can be the ones that bring the biggest blessings.
With Christopher in college, we have all had a lot of changes. One is rooting for a new school (well, some of us are and others aren't). A friend gave Eliana this cute shirt.
We packed up an exam survival box and headed up to see Christopher the Saturday before exams started. We waited in the lobby of his building.
We headed outside to play a little bit - football and frisbee.
We tried to go out for ice cream, but sadly for us, the Creamery was closed. We'll have to try that another time too.
For now, I'm enjoying my family and thankful we are all here. We have a busy week ahead and I want to be sure to carve out lots of time to just hang out and have fun!
Tonight as everyone was getting ready for bed, my thoughts were pensive. Last time to help a sweet little 4yo get ready for bed, read her stories, rock her and kiss her good night. Five years ago, I was hospitalized for extreme sickness and dehydration. Little did I know how much my world was soon to change.
More later. Tomorrow we have a sweet little girl to celebrate. Five! Can she really be five? It sure doesn't seem like it.
Blessings
Leslie
