May 28, 2017

Julie has 10 weeks left until the baby is due. She better not have that baby before we get back from summer break!  I'm kinda afraid the baby will come early and we won't be very much help abandoning them in a new country to have a baby. 

We're off in less than 24 hours. Just enough time to scrounge up some bags and clothes and send the kids off for their last day of school. And the movers are coming too! We can't get to Utah soon enough.

Really. I can't wait.

I just read a letter from a friend, he said that hard weeks don't have to be bad weeks. Bingo! Rings true. It has been a very hard week, and this coming week will probably match the last, but they are far from bad weeks. I am thankful that we have the opportunity to have family here and to see family for such a long time this summer. It will totally be worth it. And the hassle of moving is just a hassle, maybe a little inconvenient and a lot of work, but the reward come August will pay off. And then, these are just 1st world problems, meaning- not really problems. 

I've had a thought ringing through my brain all morning- Saying "Yes" to something is an automatic "No" to another. There are so many things I want to do. Places I want to be. People I want to get to know better. But by pursuing those things I am choosing not to pursue or commit to something else. It is very applicable to Bonita and Stewart's choice to serve. And Hannah and Dallin's. I hope I also learn to make the better choice. Always.

A few photos from this week. I tried to think of funny things the kids said, but my brain is fried. I'm sure there will be something hilarious in the next week.

We spent a few days at the beach, it was great to get away.

Sunday naps. Cred goes to Dan for getting both babies down after they woke mid nap.

My dearest.

Growing boys. And cousin time.

Scout!

Mae Mae.

Grimace? Growl?

Beach naps. I kinda wish I'd have taken one too.
