Its been an intense year for myself and my family. Needless to say we have had our fare share of blow outs. My mother is an exceptional woman, strong and industrious she has given us life and adventure and everything in between. My mother would tear down a wall with her bear hands and rebuild if its what her children needed. But now her children are adults and they need a friend more than they need a mother. That's a tough one for her.
This weekend my family actually had a chance to relax. On Sunday my mother packed a picnic and my grown-up family, and my new husband just got to enjoy each other. Dana, and Nate spent quite a bit of time trying to dunk each other. Having Nate around is like inheriting another brother. My little family has grown. It does my heart good to see the look on my dads face when Nate cannon ball’s off the deck and splashes him. (Punk! with a twinkling smile) Funny that's my pet name for Nate! (with a twinkling smile)
There is sweetness in our new life, my mother is learning to enjoy her grown children as people and our day on the boat yesterday was a testament to the new adventures we will have together. We aren’t always very nice to each other, but we’re learning. We each have new perspective on how precious life is and yet even for us its been tough to take time and enjoy.
Thanks to my folks for taking us out boating yesterday and reminding us how important it is just to have fun with the people you love
