Full House



Last weekend, we had the privilege of having my niece and nephews, Bud, Rosie, and Coleman, come and stay. It was noisy, a little chaotic, and very fun. Macy loved being the little sister for a few days.

Once everyone was in bed on the first night, I thought about the fact that, as we designed, planned, and built our house, this was the dream I had for it: Each room full of children. I went to bed with a little smile.

After the borrowed children had returned home to their beds and we were kissing our sweet girl goodnight, it occurred to me that our house is full. We have laughter and love and that is all we need. I went to bed with a full heart.

Being reminded of the things that are truly important is exactly what I needed tonight. You make me want to be a better person. Thank you Laura!
