Snowy Weekend
After a snow filled week the snow followed us into the weekend. We were lucky enough to get out on Saturday and go for a walk around the neighborhood.
Lately, as AB and I get closer to parenthood ourselves- we wonder if parents ever learn to treat their children like the adults they have become. Where compromise and adult discussion become in play, instead of demands and orders. Where ultimatums are no longer valid and as families grow being reminded that the rolls are changing. Their children are becoming parents themselves and they are now in the roll of grandparents. Also, do parents often realize their children are very different in how they dream, pick a mate, parent, ideals of family time, setting goals and interactions with others. Shedding the mold parents have set for their children and allowing them be find their our way and being happy in the person their child has become- weather or not that is the person they had dreamed about so long ago; when they were holding their baby in the hospital room.
For some parents this concept of roll changing comes more natural than others, but still difficult for all to embrace.
A lot of thinking lately. We continue to be blessed with family and in our relationship with Jesus. We are 32weeks on Thursday and very excited for the next 6-10 weeks. We are embracing change in our lives with open arms and excited for how the baby with shape our lives and we will shape it's.
Until next time: To Snow Shovels and Yummy Homemade Pizza!!!
