We took the kids to Granny & PawPaw's house today. They have bravely volunteered to care for the four children, while we take Jersey #2 out of state for surgery.
We went from this.....
To this....
It was very strange to travel home with only Jersey #2. To be the parents of a 6-year old....and no one else.....is very different. My hands are free. She is so independent that I am hardly needed for anything. I don't even carry a diaper bag anymore. This feeling is so odd, that it makes me thankful that I am the mother of 5 children. I enjoy the volume, the mess, the craziness, the laughter, and the joy. As much as I appreciate my parents for caring for our children while we are away, I am thankful it is a temporary arrangement.
I am blessed to be able to focus on the one child who needs me the most right now. And I will be blessed to have my arms over-flowing with children once again.
