Today as I looked out the window, my heart was all kinds of happy. Jacob and Natalie were splashing away in the jacuzzi. It’s their giant bathtub or miniature pool, however you want to look at it. They love it! This morning Natalie begged Steve, “can we pleeeeeeease go in the jacuzzi today?” He set it to 88. They splashed, played, cannon-balled, jumped, splashed, sprinkled, dove……you name it. The squeals of delight and peals of laughter were beautiful. The mile-wide smiles on their faces were precious beyond words. These are the days. Days of joy. Days of beautiful sibling relationship. Relaxing days when I can be making dinner with an eye on them while they are joyfully independent.
