It was a really lovely day to be home all together 💜 Brady and I slept in really good and proper. We got up to the kids all reading in the living room quietly. The day began. Two kids went to church but the rest of us hung back and moved a little slower. My mom came later in the morning, and we set out a very low key lunch of crackers, cheese, garlic sausage, apple slices and orange slices. Super simple. Should’ve added pickles but literally only thought of it right now. But no one was unhappy! We had a great big snack and everyone was full.
Babies went down for naps. Dekker and Rowan went for a bike/scooter ride together. Laela, Solly, and Wavy went to the park. Brady, mom, and I played SkipBo. It was such a lovely relaxed afternoon of chatting and catching up. There is always so much to talk about, and never quite enough minutes, so today, we took those minutes 💜 And it was nice.
The time came for everyone to reconvene, so we did! The kids either played with the toddlers downstairs or they helped put supper together. We ate roasted potatoes, ham, pineapple, cooked carrots, and broccoli salad. Once again, it was not a complicated meal at all, but it did taste good and everyone ate all they wanted with plenty leftover.
I sat beside Spoons. Spoons eats great and doesn’t need to be fed. I helped with potatoes, because they’re apparently less exciting than the other things, but once I convinced a few bites in, it was a very easy sell. When the plate was clear, Spoons passed it and very clearly said “more.”
More what?
Moooooore potatoes.
Moooooore carrots.
Moooooore MEAT.
Another entire serving down ✔️
It was nice to eat, everyone together, where no one complained, left anything over, or fought at all. We all just enjoyed each others presence.
I’d say the high point for me was the prayer before supper. My mom prayed, and as it started to get longer, LD started up.
Deeeeeear Jesus. Supper. Amen!
Deeeeeear Jesus. Amen.
Amen.
🤣
It was amazing, hahahahaha! Like, grandma, we get it. Move along. 🤣
But for real, thank you Lord for the life You’ve given us. We were never promised ease, or comfort, or perfection, but we were promised Heaven, and I do believe Your Word to be true. Thank you for saving us. Amen.
AMEN. 🤣
