Unbeknownst to us, this was the beginning of a two-week tempest that encompassed family emergency with major life milestones. The short list:
- Wedding anniversary
- Younger boy's 10th birthday
- Younger boy's hospitalization for burst appendix
- Older boy's confirmation and first communion
And the last two happened concurrently.
This past weekend was 10 years since our younger guy was baptized. Older boy and I head to Kentucky for cross country nationals on Thursday while little man celebrates his third consecutive year as popcorn king in his cub scout pack.
Hubby just returned from visiting his uncle in another state. While he was gone, I hosted a sleepover for the boys, which went extremely well. Everything gets easier with a little practice.
Life ebbs and flows, and I enjoy the light, sunshine and colors of this fall. I would not trade this life for anything, nor would I miss a minute of it. Older boy caps it all off with second honors--no grade inflation, this time, I'm sure--just mom nipping at his heels and making sure it all gets done. And turned in. Such a typical, normal problem to have.
The best thing? Older boy performing flash fiction with his class. He looked just like any other kid up there.
At long last.
Looking ahead, feeling thankful for so much, and blessed beyond all belief. God is good.
