This is the special day we celebrate as a family each year...our official day as a family. I am so thankful for the blessings that are my life everyday, but today is the reminder that it really is a gift.
I've been so emotional this week, and honestly, it's been the hardest week, hands down, that I've ever had as a parent. Today is a day of celebration though, and we certainly have celebrated! In their games this morning, Catherine and Thomas each got to score their first points of the season. Unfortunately, both teams lost, but I'm grateful they each got a basket in. Robert came in third in the league in his dive competition this morning. We are celebrating third place, even though there were only three competitors in the entire league. :) All of this happened prior to 11:00 so we had lunch at Bob Evans and then Andrew has taken the kids to the university basketball games and I'm home for a while before I have to work at the swim meet this evening. These days are insanely busy, but I'm so grateful for the business. Andrew and I joke how we used to think as a newly married couple that we were so busy...and then when the kids were younger we realized how busy we were NOT as a newly married couple. Now that the kids are older and there are so many opportunities, we realize how NOT busy we were when they were younger! I wouldn't trade any of this...not the ups, downs, or anything in between!
