What a Week Off Looks Like

Theres a heck of a lot I can’t show you about this week so far, which is disappointing. Thats been a weird part of blogging since we started fostering. There’s so much I can’t share. I know I could share more on social media, but the blog is so so public. I don’t even like to use the baby’s pronouns if I can help it. I’m just doing my best. Thats all. Yet it feels so strange to just casually leave such a huge thing out of our records. Its strange. Anyway.

The last few days have been pretty relaxed. We’ve tried to get some work done around here, as you’ve seen. Got the sink installed. Got the pantry mapped out, though not built yet. Picked up a new island top. Got some laundry shelves and closet shelves up. Got the video doorbell hooked up. Front door keypad and garage door keypad. Not to mention all the regular life stuff that goes on over here.

With all that busyness, we did enjoy some restful moments.

And breakfast, a la Dekker. And yes, I WILL eat a bowl full of pickles when my kid insists on finding me some food in the morning. Even if my tummy is not ready for vinegar that early.

It has been a good few days off. Not without bumps, of course 💜 But whats a ride without some bumps in the road?

The next few days promise to be equally as full, but just as rewarding I’m sure.
