I missed the every day...the simpleness of our stuff, our own space. I missed taking daily photos of nothing but the simple things. Breakfast, scooter riding, bath time, dancing in the kitchen.
I know that their home was welcomed to us as our home but it never felt like home to me. It was hard with bread on my dresser and a basket full of snacks next to my bed. My computer was in the girl's room and the boys didn't have a closet or their own beds. It just never felt like I was coming home. It felt like a very long, extended stay with friends.
Now my workspace is in the living room so I can write and be part of the every day. The boys have their beds and toys. They have their gaming chairs and computer. I no longer have food being stored in my room and I have a laundry room that is always open. The girl's room can be messy and it won't bother me. I can leave dishes in the sink until dinner and not feel as if I'm inconveniencing anyone.
There is now long baths full of giggles, bubble beards and toys.
Legos are played with daily and left for me to step on....just like the good ole days.
The puppy and kitten are learning to get along...can you hear the angels singing? If these two can just get a long I'll let them both stay, just kidding...sort of. But the whole animal schedule, management thing we have going on is genius but tedious.
This house is quickly becoming a home. We have one photo wall done, something different for me, and once the other wall is done I'll be sharing. I have missed my photos the most...I look at them and I smile..I'm happy.
