Brads got Elliott Jane in the bath, I can hear him say “can you find the tiger?” LIKE he’s SURELY not educating her about #tigerking - right? Kidding. The puzzle is permanent we just eat around it now. Elliott Jane had her first hot dog tonight, Vern was hoping it would never make it to her mouth. We walked and took pictures. Smiled a lot. Brad told me I was being bossy and I smiled and said “you just noticed?!” Just kidding, I just bossed more, I really didn’t. I am bossy sometimes - and really try not to be. At least we’re both aware. 😳 . Chili was awesome. Made it over in stories. Elliott Jane’s 4-6 month hat really needs to be replaced by one that actually fits. I’ve been drinking cherry Coke Zero a little and Brad’s been drinking Diet Coke. We don’t drink either of those things normally but I think it’s okay right now. Okay, I hear whistling and baby laughter so I’m going to go back to the kitchen and pretend I’m working before they come back down.🤣

At least these are the days we will always remember. ☀️

We had to eat dinner on the TV trays 🙄 because the puzzle is taking up the whole dang table and spectacles (second picture) thought those TV Trays were awesome (for knocking over) 🤣🤪 . Made dinner over in stories, burgers and turnip fries. Burgers topped with Gouda, jalapeño, mushrooms and an egg. 🙌🏽

All dressed up and NO WHERE TA GO. But at least I look cute! And all you babies...pants are from @hm, shirt is from @target and shoes and bow from @amazon and dad, that guy holding my hands from Knoxville. 😂☀️

I put these babies in her rocker a few times a day as we clean up. At night I organize them so they’ll be ready to greet her in the mornings. Brad said last night as he looked over when we were watching @ozark “you love that.” And I do. It’s my dream. To have a baby girl. And a baby girl with babies. I waited a long time and had a long and windy road to get here. That baby doll in the back was made in 1984 and was mine. Looong road. But I didn’t give up on her. I didn’t give up. I couldn’t. I knew she was out there and mine somehow. We almost quit. It was too hard. It was heartbreaking. It was hard on a marriage to be so sad and to have such deep want that neither of us could fix. But somehow, we all found each other. My outward happiness is just a small part of how my heart feels. I get her. I am a mama every day. I say to you in the middle of mess. Whatever that may be. Whatever your hard is. Whatever that impossible thing that takes all your tears, just hope. Keep your heart alive. Know there’s always a plan bigger than you that you can’t see sometimes. My happiness looks like a rocker full of babies for my baby after dreaming of her for a life time. Keep hoping. Keep dreaming. Keep your heart open to possibilities. Notice goodness when it knocks on your door. And appreciate the whispers of peace in the middle. ✨

Social distancing is a new word to all of us that will go down on the history books. But dare I say it might end up bringing us closer together? On our walk tonight, I connected with everyone that passed me either with a rambunctious (overly) wave or eye contact. We met neighbors we’ve never talked to tonight. All talking, keeping our distance. Maybe I would have kept walking a few weeks ago. But connection is so good. Especially when it’s suddenly taken away. I’ve FaceTimed friends with babies so Elliott Jane can see them, and I never do that. We may come out of this weary, beaten and bruised but at least we will have gotten to know Joe Exotic, will have begun learning how to be content and maybe even met a new neighbor or two. And if that’s what our new normal is for now: May we always be reminded to smile, wave, eye contact and everyone needs that extra bit of connection. Thanks for being in my space. You help me through life’s days good and bad and I hope you know I appreciate you today and every day.✨
