As the month is almost over, I am so very thankful we are all in one piece. I will confess this has been a tough month/summer for our family of four. We have been at home for all of August and the last half of July was managed without Ben. Nonnie made the time without Daddy Ben bearable, but we all had struggles. Normal for summertime, there has been no school break for me, always challenging. The temperatures are sky high and playing outdoors can only be done in moderation. Mark still needs a nap and Mallory has decided to stop napping. Mallory talks ALL THE TIME and Mark is following in her footsteps. So with my ears ringing I am desperately looking forward to the start of school (will Labor day ever arrive?) and a trip for Ben and I (sans children.) Thank you Lord for the blessings of healthy exuberant children, please grant me your strength and wisdom to parent them well.
