We took a lot of walks over the summer, but this one was probably the best. The boys are back in school! The first week went better than it usually does. Their attitudes about it have been good, and even though they would deny this upside down and inside out, they seem to be happier now that they’ve gone back. Overall, life got better around our house this week. It may be better for some than others.
We may have lost the boys this week, but we gained our dad! For two solid years Josh has had the pedal to the metal finishing his PhD, and now completing his 3rd year of medical school. Finally, after all this time, some of the insane pressure he’s been under has been lifted, and he has more time to be at home. I’m proud of him for getting through it, and accomplishing so much. We welcome our daddy home!
It may sound crazy, but him being able to just sit and hold his sleeping daughter wouldn’t have been possible even a week ago, so it’s a real treat that he can now. Even with all that time away, he hasn’t missed a beat.
Here he is, running a baseball game in the front yard. Never mind the rain, they were making up for lost time!
I, however, did mind the rain, so these pictures were snapped through the sliver between trees from the front door. Don’t judge me for not jumping in—while he has been working for two straight years someone had to constantly be with these stinkin’ kids! I’m happy to make room for him.
