Sunday Living 36.52
Fall weather surprised us over the weekend. It dropped below seasonal temps and without the sunshine, Saturday felt like mid-October. It was rainy and cold – we stayed inside most of the day while it poured but when there was a break, the Little Man and I stepped outside for some playtime. It didn’t last long, before it began raining down again – but for a brief time we had fun, we loaded up dump trucks with fallen leaves and sticks. We got messy and laughed. We pretended we were in a marching band and marched around our new backyard blowing a make-believe trumpet. Time always slows down when you play with kids.
Things have been helter-skelter around here – with the move, with Aiden starting school, with Abigail teething (3 coming in at once!), unpacking, no internet – the list goes on. We are really trying to focus on the positive things, like our lovely new home, beautiful neighbourhood, big green backyard, and the family hang outs we are getting to have in the midst of LIFE. I am grateful for that. I am stretched, but I am thankful for the living that is happening through the stretching…make sense? (on four hours of sleep, it makes sense to me!)
I am hoping for easier times ahead and a sense of settling in. I’m also looking forward to having home internet – it’s a strange feeling to not have access to it and to have to arrange times to hit up a coffee shop to connect online! A luxury I definitely took for granted.
Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend friends xo

“Helter-skelter”, what a fun expression, didn´t know that one. Love the pics!
Thank you Tina! When I get my home internet going, I’ll be back at visiting (and catching up) on your blog!! Yes, I like that saying too, glad you like it and it’s new to you. When things are crazy and hectic – I tend to use it! xox
Enjoy all these special moments with your two precious little ones! Congratulations on your new home! You have a lot of exciting things going on your life. It’s so great that you know to “stop and smell the roses”, especially with your children. Trust me, it goes by so quickly!! I get teary-eyed looking at photos and videos of my kids when they were little. Every day with them is a such a gift and blessing!! xo~
Awe, thank you for your note Amee. I believe you – both my husband and I really try to make them our number one priority – because as you say, it goes by quickly. We cherish them and feel truly blessed that they are in our lives. xox
