Last week, my in-laws came to visit and when they started leaving on Sunday, my two children packed their bags and said they were headed out too. Well, after mom dried her eyes and acted really brave, they were off, and Kyle and I were left at home with our youngest child, Katie.
It was very quiet around our house and very empty without my children, and I missed them very much. They had a wonderful time and I have to admit, I got alot of accomplished. I painted two rooms in our house even! Kyle's lucky that the children came home when they did, or the entire house might be red by now. ha ha
In a nutshell, I learned last week just how much love, laughter and joy my children bring into the home. You know the saying, "you don't what you've got until it's gone"? Well, that's been true for me this last week. I greatly missed my children and now know, to a greater extent, how much they mean to me, and how much they add to my life. I am eternally grateful to be a mother and for my wonderful children.
Best friends
Hi Erin! This is Jami, Matt's wife. Thank you so much for letting him stay with you! He really enjoyed it. I wanted to tell you I really enjoy reading your blog, you have such wonderful insight on motherhood! That "Something to think about" on the side of your page, is that yours or is it a quote from someone?
