So, I didn't write much the last week of our days with the kids. I was trying to soak it all in.
I didn't want to miss one single thing we had left to enjoy of them.
But I did try to snap a photo here and there so I could remember...
Our Friday pizza and movie nights.
Leo, eating himself into a food coma.
Breakfast animals.
The day that three year old Lucy wanted to prove she's ready to be a mom...
and she put Leo down for his nap all by herself.
All the board games and laughter.
Bay Beach, again and again.
Not sure they could have ever gotten enough...
of the amusement park,
OR Jaymee Glynn.
Making donuts
that were delicious.
And all those pre-packaged art projects.
Our last being the highly anticipated paper flowers.
And, of course, the beach.
And that baby.
Missing him terribly is a little easier when I recall
the way Greg and I took in every last second we had with him.
Although it certainly won't ever be the same around here,
we're learning our way back to "just the three of us" again.
You made a beautiful sacrifice Lora, to give of your time, energy, resources, love and sleep! I wish you could have turned the camera around to see the smile on YOUR face and the life in your eyes with all of this. I know your family was blessed with life abundant for your special season. I can see that the kids sure did enjoy it all and the smiles on their faces are priceless.
ReplyDeleteI am proud of how you listen to God's guiding and let Him use you in mighty ways.
Beautiful blogging and great memory snapshots!
Love,
Mom
