less than 2 weeks...

today marks less than 2 weeks until we leave to go meet wilson! i am beyond excited. i need to pack and i need to finish our photo books. i need to prep some things at home for grandma, and line up a few more resources to help with the children at home. i am trusting it will all work out. deep breaths. this is what a very good friend tells me. i suppose she's right. she's visiting her little boy right now and is sort of a fly by the seat of her pants mom like me sometimes so i'm going to take her word on this one. i'm anxious about leaving our children at home, but so excited to meet wilson and see that sweet little face in person for the first time.

feeling thankful that we have daniel's mother who will come stay with our children and take on the task of helping our kids feel safe and loved while we are gone. feeling extremely blessed that we have two of the kindest, most responsible and loving teenagers that were ever born. whatever karma stores i built up, i've been repaid multiple times over with brother K and sister K. i know that they will provide so much comfort and stability for the three youngest children who are going to miss us terribly. it's going to be hard for all of us to be apart, but at the end of it, welcoming our last child into the family will be worth it. and then our ordinary life goes on, and i long for the ordinary... the jumping in puddles, running to the park, dancing before dinner, racing to get homework done at the last minute, looking for any excuse to play in water, games all over the place kind of ordinary life. we'll have one more little boy to love and any future trips will be all together. that day is coming soon!
