*mommy lessons & reflections from a random, mid-afternoon, spur-of-the-moment, child-initiated photo shoot
to be honest.
does our life feel a little up in the air?
yes.
but, why not smile more while we're up here??
***
do we feel a little upside down in our duties lately?
yes.
steve job searching.
me mothering and homemaking in someone else's home.
but, why not appreciate the current view a little more??
we won't be upside down forever.
***
sometimes, i can embrace it.
***
and sometimes i'm just not in the mood.
both are okay.
waiting is hard for a 3 year old and its hard for this 28 year old as well.
***
but what i'm really grateful for:
three hilarious kids.
a husband who is dedicated, positive, steady, determined.
in-laws who (lovingly) seem not to notice the constant crumbs, milk dribbles, stray wet underpants on the bathroom floor, and forgotten diaper bombs.
a chance to develop a deeper love and reliance on one another.
precious time as a family.
we are oh so lucky.
we have people to love and people that love us.
p.s. its official. i am determined to start backlogging. this is just one of many to come...rather than an overwhelming post of ten! its good to be back
