At one point in our lives, this was everything we needed...
Then, there was the three of us....life was good.
Soon, we decided the next best thing (and wow, was it ever) would be this...
And then, without even knowing it, God had bigger and better plans for our happy little family of 4...
And now, 8 months later, the best kind of happiness we could've ever imagined has been far exceeded...
pure joy...
As Daddy has been adventuring in the Boundary Waters this week, I have spent some of the {few} quiet moments I've had to myself thinking about the evolution of this little, happy, wonderful family that we have created and have been reminded about just how much I love my life.
I have found my mind wandering this week thinking about Kevin's Boundary Waters trip he took just two short years ago....and how I spent my week. My time was free and open, I could go to bed when I wanted, eat when I wanted, and up and leave the house without a second thought.
Things are a little different now...a little more time-consuming...a little less freedom......perfect!
My appreciation for the teammate I have in Kevin has been renewed...after all, like they say....absence does make the heart grow fonder! Although the girls and I have had {tremendous} help from Grandmas and Grandpas this week, I was humbled thinking how much I rely on Kev's help and love to make our home and family function.
I wouldn't trade anything we have now for the days when we {thought} we had everything we needed.
Now we know, we weren't even half as complete of a family as we are now!
