Our lives are getting ready to change drastically for a short period time. For not the first time, we have an adult child, who will be returning home. But this time will be quite different --- not only is the child returning, but she's bringing her husband and 3 children!! We've enjoyed having our children return home to live for short periods of time and I'm looking forward to this return. We know that it won't last long as they have a job starting in another state in about 5 weeks. Kristy & Kate stayed with us for about a month three years ago before their move to Kansas. Justin was back and forth between here & Ohio that time. But since that stay they've added two more little ones to their family.
I've been trying to get things ready for them by cleaning out drawers and closets so they won't have to live out of suitcases while they're here. I've also cleaned off a few of the lower bookshelves and the coffee table so Nate can have a little more freedom to move about without constantly telling him "no." Since he's started pulling up and walking if he has something to hold on to I'm sure he'll like to explore this new place. I need to go through the toys I have and separate the baby things from the toys for the girls.
Handyman made his regular trip to the grocery today but he also started buying extra food - Goldfish, frozen veggies for their lunch, etc.
We're really looking forward to having this time with them. I'm sure the time will pass quickly, but when they leave they won't be moving too far away. To have them a little over an hour away, instead of about nine hours away will be wonderful!!
