It is quiet in my house at the moment. The babies have gone for the day ( I had both grandbabies today). My sister, her two daughters, and my parents came to visit and help with the babies. This will be the last week that I will be keeping Ruth. Her mother will be finished with her teaching position at the end of the week. Come fall she will only substitute teach so she can be home most of the time with her little one. Zoe will get to stay a couple of days a week with me in the summer. We will see come fall what the schedule will be. Keeping kids as gramma is not like keeping kids at twenty or thirty! I forgot how much work little ones are. It is a blessed time though and I am thoroughly enjoying it (well at least most of it).
Last week my husband and I spent some time away for our anniversary. If you can find time to get away with your beloved do it, do it, do it! We had such a good time.
As a random side note - As I type this I keep looking up from the keyboard and see a field of tall grass and trees on sloping hills. The evening shadows are visible as the sun begins to set. It is so peaceful. A serene picture that provokes a sense of calm. And yet there is a longing for something......I have so many thoughts. The front porch swing is beckoning me....goodbye for now!

Sounds lovely! The babies and the porch swing. :) So happy for you that you had family come to stay with you to help with the babies. And, yes...I agree, our energy is definitely waning in our forties. I sometimes cannot believe what we did in our twenties! What a blessing you are to your family. And...yippee for a getaway with your Sweetie. Hugs to you, Camille
