But the best part of being at home right now is that I can relax some and enjoy the company of those who I miss regardless of how much they might annoy me. I get to see my grandmothers, help Gran with her feeding ministry again, see my aunts, uncles, and cousins, and best of all, Baby Brynn. At 5 weeks old, she's not much bigger than she was (only 1/2 inch longer and 3 pounds heavier), but she's so different already. She wiggles like crazy, tries to roll over, and makes little noises constantly. Her attitude is also starting to show, an inevitable trait she inherited from her mother, her grandmother, and her great-grandmother. But she's adorable and since I won't see her again until she's at least 5 months old, I'm trying to soak it in and spend some time with her. After all, who could deny this face:
I'm also loving seeing my pups. I miss not having a dog in the house, so it's good seeing my two beautiful and loving black labs while at home. Raven is 8 and Annabelle is 5 and they are just wonderful pets. Raven has barely left my side and Bella likes to be a lap dog, forgetting the fact that she is 90 pounds. They radiate love and it makes me happy.
5 more days at home to go, I better enjoy it while I can. Time away is flying and while I'm ready to be closer to home, I'm not ready to give up being away. It's an interesting conundrum, but I have time to figure it out, and that's the most important thing.
