Back at Aunt Heather's!
Alright Colorado runs, what do you have in store for
me this time?
They love playing dog trainers.
There she is!
Streets of Southgelnn, always on the list!
And Roni up to her silliness.
New backpack!
We love Evergreen!
Ice skating in the winter and this is in the Fall!
Dinner's on Roni's back porch = Ahhhhh
Her view!
Redstone park
I am feeling the need to be off the clock… It is hard to relax with my kids around others, just part of my DNA. Part of my caretaking. And then when I am on with my kids it’s all on. Our trip to the East was so good but there just wasn’t a lot of alone regrouping time. That’s kind of thing that I like to the most returning to Maui just having some space away to think and come back with some fresh thoughts. But I need some time to do this.
I love this weather and the air and it is so memory filled for me and I want to stop and be in it but I have three kiddos that make it difficult for one to linger within. So many memories in this air.
Looking at my sisters life can and moments make me feel a kind of envy I don’t often feel. The freedom they have at times is hard to witness when I have so little of it. Not ungrateful and not regretful just sometimes wish I had a little more time. And when my day job of homeschooling is fraught with resistance and complaining and trying to convince, the freedom is even more enviable.
I think I come to Colorado thirsty for relationship and deep connection. Between kiddos and I don’t know what else I felt a bit disappointed the last time and even this time. Maybe I’m just too thirsty. As hard as it is to be in Maui (whereI could not be further from any landmass)- I feel free.
But this morning my thought was a place can’t ultimately free me. It’s me finding freedom in God and how I was created to be, that will ultimately free me.
Being here in Fall rises up all my senses,
you never forget home.
We are going to dip some leaves in beeswax
and we can have some Fall in Maui.
