It’s been a bit of a transition for us, not living with our parents that is.
I love
having my own house. I enjoy the sense of freedom we’ve gained as a family.
However,
it becomes lonely.
I’m used
to having Ma there for middle of the night coffees and long Saturday morning
chats. I’m used to the big loud family crowded in the not enough places to sit
lounge. I’m used to cooking for 6+, definitely not 2!
So, every
chance we get….we visit! Whether they’ve come here…or like over Easter we went
to Ma. It was a great and relaxing three days. I just wish it was longer. But
here is what we got up to…
A lot of
nothing and a little bit of everything!! ;-)
LJ got to
meet Jayden….again. Jason and Shanna came and visited the weekend we brought LJ
home from the hospital, but LJ was so little then! (3 days old!) So now only
being 3 months apart in age…we hope they’re good friends one day. Here was
their first encounter!
Lil Mister
was a little bit shy at first. He found his sunglasses that morning as we were
packing to leave. He has since then become obsessed with them!
And….
Lil Mister
experienced his first Easter basket! I felt that under two years of age…he just
wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much. I guess I’m going to have to rethink this
logic with LJ because I can’t see giving Lil Mister a basket next year and not
giving LJ something!! We all enjoyed this one a little bit though!
And after
church on Sunday….Lil Mister had an Easter egg hunt!
Otherwise….we
just spent a lot of time as a family. It really sucked that Vin wasn’t with us.
But, we all have to face responsibilities and work sometimes must come first.
We’re really going to miss Quintin, Pa, and Ma but….we’re close at least and
talk constantly as we travel these new adventures….apart but still together as
a family!! ;-)
LJ's first sucker thanks to Oupa! |
