So, I'm sitting in my house enjoying the silence while at the same time I am hating the silence. My mom came to take the boys for a visit for a few days and I go back and forth between serenity and anxiousness. It is almost constant chaos when the boys are home, but at the same time they are so much fun and have such amazing little personalities that I hate to miss a minute of them.
However, above and beyond all that, I am so grateful that my boys live close enough to be able to visit and get to know both sets of their grandparents. I never had grandparents close enough that I was really able to spend time with them and get to know them. The most I ever got was the occasional summer, spring break, or Christmas visit. I am so happy that my boys are able to see their grandparents regularly, and I am grateful that their grandparents are willing to let them come visit. But it means the most to me that their grandparents want to get to know all the wonderfulness that are Donovan and Giovanni. Yes, they can be loud and messy, they get into everything, throw their food on the floor, fight, scream, and love saying the word no, but they are also smart and funny, sweet, give amazing hugs, love reading books with me, and make me smile at least a thousand times a day.
Amazing boys, with amazing grandparents and it just reminds me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family. Yes we can all be loud and messy, we fight, scream, etc., but we are also funny, sweet, and give amazing hugs. I am so glad that my boys get to be a part of that, and that they have grandparents who want to be a part of my boys' lives as well.
