Dearest Boys,
It's been 3 whole months since your Grandma and Grandpa uprooted themselves and moved 1,000 miles away to be near y'all. Having them nearby has been nothing but a blessing. You've had a few sleepovers at their house and you request them frequently. You think that sleeping together in your own room - a bedroom with a TV!! - is one of the best things ever! The super late bedtime and pantry stocked with sugar are nice extras too ; )
They've been able to see you, Jax, in action in quite a few of your games and Grandpa has plans to teach you a few soccer skills soon.
We've had them over for dinner a few times and they've hosted us at their place as well. At our most recent dinner, you led us in prayer, Colt. I almost shouted "AMEN!" as you bowed your head and told God, "Thank you for this lovely family." Well spoken, son!
Sometimes Grandma picks you up from school and you're always pleasantly surprised to see her.
She also helps by taking you to school sometimes. She's even walked you to school once and melted my heart when she sent me this pictures of you two walking towards school together.
All of this means that Daddy and I have gotten more time to ourselves.
Sometimes we catch a movie together.
Sometimes we live it up with friends.
Of course, you're never far from our minds -- but it's super reassuring to know who you're with and that you're having the times of your lives!
Praise God for this lovely family, for sure!
