Our sign sits at the front gate, welcoming guests to Grey Gables. Its weathered (despite the etsy seller I purchased the sign from saying it was weatherproof). Its grey. And I love it! I love the fact that we own Grey Gables, and I especially love the fact that the sign hangs on the fence.
I often wonder what my children will remember from their childhood. I recently started working at the YMCA as a yplay member (the 6 and under childcare). Its extremely humbling, but our family needed the extra income. Anyways, today I met a fellow employee who was in her early 20s. Shes in college and used to live around the same area as we currently do. She spoke fondly of her childhood days, filled with chickens, goats and ducks. About gardening and running around her homestead. I can only hope my children will have fond memories of life at Grey Gables. That their eyes will twinkle as they share the memories they have of collecting eggs, picking berries, and ridding Jasper... and of Bobby on the porch!
As I sat with my 5 year old yesterday reading, I was overwhelmed by emotions...she is getting so big so fast! The girls are growing up, and I can only thank the Lord for each day I get to be a part of that. My deepest desire is to be a mom who has her head up, soaking in each moment....not looking down at my phone or focusing on my self.
