Home Without the Kids

Brady and I experienced something for the first time today, and it was SO STRANGE! We spent the majority of the day home, together, without the kids.😯 That never happens. But it was a nice day for it to happen, and for Brady and I to be able to just be together for the day.

I was very discouraged upon waking up. The three older kids are all sick. 😞 It is SUCH a bummer. They’re all fevered, tired, and no one is hungry. I just can’t even believe this is all back so soon. But I thank my gracious parents for being willing to take them in for the day, regardless of their level of health.

We’ve had a nice, relaxed, unproductive day. Hopefully tomorrow will be slightly more productive, but will definitely still be an at home cozy day.

Once again, supper is making its way from someone else’s home to ours, which is a complete blessing. Our loved ones are just showering us with concert and support, and we continue to be humbled by it all.

Brady just headed out to go retrieve the kids from my parents house, so we can spend the evening with them. It feels a tad eerie being home all alone. This NEVER happens. Sure, sometimes I’m home and its this quiet, but only if the kids are still asleep. I literally don’t ever remember being in this house when its been empty.

Through all of these struggles and difficult times, I can honestly say I am thrilled with our choice to move to our town, with our friends and family close by, and into this house. Its all just bang on. We couldn’t feel more at home here.

Thank you to everyone who has been playing a role in our lives in the recent past. You are not forgotten. You are greatly appreciated. I know I’ve said it a lot, but it’ll never be said enough.
