We'll be heading to Houston to spend the holidays with our family there. Both my mom and M's parents live there, so that's both a blessing and a curse. Fortunately, everyone gets along very well, and we can't stay past Saturday anyway, so it will be a short visit. Between my mom and my mother-in-law, I'm getting away with not bringing anything for the meal on Thursday...but I'm bringing the grandkids, so I guess that counts?
With the boys so close in age, it's been touch and go for a long time. Every day brings a new challenge, and I've learned about how selfish I am and must have been before I had any children. But with these struggles, comes so much love. I am so blessed. I have two happy, healthy, hilarious boys. Our family dynamic is ever-changing, but we're falling into a very content place. It's probably just that the boys are a tiny bit more independent each day. We're in a good place. This year, I'm probably most thankful for my family. I always saw myself in the wife/mother role, but our life isn't anything like I thought it would be. It's much better than I could have imagined.
(I need to get some pictures posted....)
