It's Day 1 of Adam's Orlando trip and things are going smoothly thus far. Despite being under the weather still (I'm very much over that part), and Patrick getting a little upset this morning to find out that Daddy wasn't here, we are doing fabulously. Patrick's down for his nap, we're trying out a no-diaper day, minus any outings and naps. We had one successful trip to the bathroom, rewarded with some "lippies," or lip gloss. Adam might have something to say about that, but whatever works, right?
On today's agenda: looking for curtains for the nursery again. I found some that I love, but that are a little pricey, so I'm on a mission to find something else that will work. After that, it's church and then dinner with the Hatcher family at the Rusty Bucket. Here's to a great Sunday, or a good Sunday, rather. There is a little empty spot where Adam should be, but we're going to make it. We can do this.
The family. We are a little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.
