The wonder:
30 hours to ourselves thanks to the amazing grandparents doing school runs and an overnight with the boys.
Star Wars, spa treatments, cocktails, reminiscing about the last 10 years, amazing food, quiet reading time, the sanctuary of home after being away, tv and naps. Listing the many many people who have enabled us to keep being married and sane in this world. Small boy cuddles at pick up today. The start of the holidays. Working through son1’s difficulty in transitions and the unstructured nature of holidays. Writing a visual timetable together for him to update each day.
Paying attention to the gifts to get to the giver. Reminders that we are frail and yet held. Loved through the imperfection of our nature. Always in covenant however we feel we are doing in that arrangement.
