This three day weekend has been a blur of activity. Vala's Pumpkin Patch for Zane's early birthday party yesterday, shoe shopping with Gabe this morning, Zane's football this afternoon, with some grocery shopping, baking, and laundry thrown in for good measure. Tomorrow is teaching Sunday school, church, more laundry, and trying to get at least one room in this house marginally clean. Life is busy.
While our lives may be busy, we know that it could be worse. It's busy for sure, but today there was time to watch the Hawkeyes come close to beating Ohio State with Gabe. There was time in the car to talk about what's going on at school with him. There was time to snuggle with Zane before bed and to cheer like crazy as he went for his opponent's flags on the field. As I think about this, I am very aware that other families do not have the luxury of this time. Many parents have to work on the weekends. Many have to work two jobs. Some struggle with illness, and others are not able to be present in the lives of their children the way Brian and I are able to be. I have no idea what the future will bring. For that matter, I have no idea what the next hour will bring.
So for now, I'm enjoying the busyness and all that it brings.
