We are so blessed.

Framily is a gift so beautifully overwhelming sometimes.

 

 

Papa Dale and a trip to the pond to go fishing after a trip to the auto store for man errands.

Big buddies and little buddies.

 

 

Oh, there’s all the usual chaos that accompanies a dozen-ish young children at every meal.

But it’s a happy kind of crazy.

 

 

And it’s kind of my favorite type of crazy.

The crazy that says, “We are all in this life together. The tantrums and the tears. The hugs and the high-fives. The spills and the shoves.”

I really like this Jason Maraz song entitled “A Beautiful Mess”.

That’s it.

Perfectly.

(Or – imperfectly.)

 

 

Together.
