It's not a conscious thing...I don't think "Ah, Caleb is home and a year ago I was working. I need to make the most of it and realize that it is time to make special and enjoy". That's not it (although that's GREAT!). It's truly inside of me and just sorta' there... it's a happiness and joy that I'm not trying to have. It's a giddiness that makes me grin all day long. Yes, I am also planning some great activities and crafts to do together this week. Mainly though, I am just plain happy. So happy it brings tears to my eyes to think about. A deep, resounding, pure happiness.
I love being home with Georgia. This is the FIRST time we've EVER had it... this year. When she was a baby either Caleb was here or when he went to preschool I started keeping a little girl in our home full time. So I never had EVEN ONE DAY alone with Georgia. Now I do. And I love it. I love it every day.
BUT having Caleb home makes both of us happy. All of us happy.
They love playing together.
Making things together.
just being together.
and i love it too.
So, I pray that you are enjoying this time...if you have more of it than you're used to. If you find yourself with more kids home during the day than usual.
If you find yourself with time off of work.
Whatever it may be, I pray you enjoy it.
That it doesn't fray your nerves but instead finds you giving extra hugs and cuddles, extra time of watching your kiddos just be themselves, or time of all curling up together to listen to a good book or watch a good movie.
i love this day
i will love every day we have together
i thank the Lord for each minute of it.
