Sometimes all things change and nothing changes.
For most of this past year we have been empty nesters. Our children have been elsewehere in the world and we have been focused here in Kindersley.
Life becomes rather staid, if not almost predictable. We arise and shine around 8:00 or so – move about our daily activities and head to bed without much commotion!
Allison arrived here on Monday afternoon. She decided to wander down after talking to her brother in the morning. He is here with us so this is the perfect time to get to see each other. Our grandson accompanied Allison. He loves to smile and is quite active although not irritatingly so.
So the house has noise, the activities are anything but predictable and we feel like we are at “home”.
Ah, the pleasures of life in the parent lane!!
Wow! Siblings, grandchild, grandparents, new uncle — new mom, The picture says it all. What a happy place to be….you get to see someof those seeds you planted long ago sprouting and growing — in a wildly different aray than what we thought we planted – yet one day with tons of reflection – you will get to see them bloom.
I would have loved to have been a mouse in the corner to watch all the littler thought provoking moments filled with glee of watching the new generation in full operation as they interact with the newest generation.
I have learned so much from my kids that if I could go back I’d likely parent with a whole new style — or would that mean their style would become my style of long ago…nope not going back. But I do enjoy watching them interact – and babies produce a whole new batch of reations and interactions. — you’ll have tons more to write about.
Say Hi to both Tim and Allison and hug baby Christopher.
Love MaryAnne
