I haven’t spent a significant amount of time with my mom in weeks. WEEKS! I know lots of people go longer between visits with their mom, but I am blessed to have a fabulous relationship with mine, and we’re accustomed to seeing lots of each other. But between trips and sickness, its been hard to make the time. But today we did!

She came to be at the house while I dropped Dekker off at school, and then stayed through the morning and a little bit into the afternoon. We talked a ton, and time passed very quickly. It was lovely, and while we talked non-stop for about five hours, I still feel like there is just so much ground to cover still. I hope we get another chance soon.

Brady’s day finished up a tad early, so he made it home in time to hang at the house while I picked Dekker up. And I was so pleasantly surprised when I picked Dekker up. He was in really, really good spirits, and said he had an awesome day! He greeted me with a nice big hug, and told me he remembered all of the things we had talked about. I hadn’t been sure this morning, as I sent him to school with a handful of things to remember – to talk to certain people about specific things, to give his teacher a thing or two, etc. But he was proud to list them all off as things that he had remembered. Good work, Dekker!

Now, the gang is all home, having some nice quiet breathing time, building links and having Chuggington on in the background. Its been a lovely, low key day of visiting and rest. Tomorrow is another school day for Dekker, and Brady is home!! So I’m looking forward to hopefully getting a few jobs done around here that aren’t as easy to do on my own with the kids. Should be another great day 🙂
