But with my husband home, it is a HUGE help. We all have loved having him around each day. But I will say, it is tricky learning how to do that all day, every day! I am so used to going about my day without having any other adult around. You know, no one to run things by or coordinate plans with or make you think twice about what you do when. I'm just kind of being used to being the queen of the castle during the day. So it takes some getting used to!
We are almost fully unpacked, except for the boxes that only I can do, and my husband would really like for me to get to them ASAP, sincerely a week ago! So we are unpacked mostly, but that does not mean decorated. And that is the part that drives me crazy! I had everything in its place at the last house, and now, well, not everything fits. Window treatments are off, colors are off, space is off. So I have to refigure, replan, rebuy/remake things. That is the part that overwhelms me because I want it done like yesterday, and it just takes time. I hate that!
But we will get there! I know that. Probably the best part about our lived right now is just the massive amount of family time we have. We have never had so much time together! But our outings, game nights, wii nights, and wrestling nights have all been such a treasure. With no grandparents around, we are learning to really enjoy time with our kids. I think I need to learn this lesson so much more than Ed.
Anyway, we have a shortage of pictures recently, but I will leave you with this. Ed had a Daddy Day with all the kids today. He took each one out to do something special with him. He took Haleigh out to breakfast, Caleb on an adventure to the lake, and Micah to play his first round of golf with his new clubs. Here they are before they left...
