Seth took the rest of the week off after the 4th. It's always great having him home. We spent about three hours at the pool on Friday.
This was a day that made me smile. I was so happy watching him with our four healthy children. I just felt very grateful and blessed this day. I need days like this. To slow down and remember what is important.
It makes me happy to know that He and I are on the same page with our marriage and how we want to raise our children. I was happy watching them as they played choo, choo train all around the pool. Dad was the conductor and Sawyer was the caboose, with my help. I was happy knowing that our children were so happy just because mom and dad were both in the pool playing with them.
Maybe I felt a little happy because I wasn't pregnant this summer! It feels good to know that our family is complete. I was happy watching Laurel do a perfect front and back flip in the water. It made me so happy to see Savannah dive to her daddy, when last summer she wouldn't leave the steps or go under water.
Maybe it was just the holiday we were celebrating, Independence Day. This day makes you grateful for our freedoms. It just seemed like all was right with the world, on this day and that made me happy. I made a mental note that we need more days like this.
