It's been so great
I've been preparing...
... for the arrival of my sister and her family.
... for Easter.
... for O's birthday
... for Garrison's baptism
... for my mom's arrival
... for my RS lesson
... for my talk on baptism
and now it is all over!
G's baptism was beautiful. I'm so proud of he and Mya C. I'm so thankful for all of the help and support.
I took my sister and her fam to the airport this morning, with heavy heart, after such a fun week.
I taught my lesson.
I always have much ahead of me, still, but this much is over and done.
It is good, and it is sad.
I still have time to enjoy with my mom. I'm so glad to spend time with her this week.
This past week was full of cousin play time.
Matt took the week off so it was also full of adult play time, laughs and relaxing.
We took the kids to an indoor waterpark in Canada. It was so much fun, we all enjoyed it.
We took them to the park, to the school playground, where I hit a baseball right into G's forehead.
We went out to eat at Red Robin for O's bday. We sang to him and opened presents. I can't believe he is 4! Such a big boy. He is a delight! I love him.
The boys went golfing... twice.
I took Cand out for ice cream and just a little shopping, with a celebration trip to return my purchase!
We visited. We laughed.
Q and Allie were inseparable, they are getting along so well as they grow up.
Coop fit right in w/ the boys and was very patient with his little cousin who likes to punch right now.
We adults got to go out to eat last night w/ gma in town to watch all of our kids.
I had a pit in my tummy last night and again this morning. Most of the time I really am fine. I love my family but don't 'miss' them. Right now I don't feel that way at all! I want to go 'home' with them! I want to be there right around the corner, I want to see them as frequently as time permits. Yet, I know that is not my life. I know this is where I belong, this is our 'home'.
I thank heaven for this RS lesson today that reminds me of eternity and the endless time I'll get to spend with those I love most, at some point. I take comfort in the heart, knowing that although I can't be with them often they are all in my heart, part of my spirit, imprinted in my soul and they are with me always.
... and I'm glad my mom is still here with me! I'll go through this all again at the end of this week!!!
