We are very fortunate to have family close by where we can stay until our home is rebuilt. Both of Jeremy’s parents, and mine, offered to open their homes to us. We discussed our options and certainly didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but eventually decided to stay with his dad.
The kids have been so happy here. And well, they should be! Papa’s Place is a kid’s paradise!!! Acres and acres of farm land, cows, a fishing pond, barns, tractors, and a playground. Not to mention, the baby geese just hatched and last night, when we walked down to the lake to find them, we noticed hundreds of tiny tadpoles swimming around!
I’m glad to see my youngin’s running so free and being delighted in so many ways. I’ve been worried about how the fire would affect them. If they would be fearful or clingy for a while. But instead, thanks to the love of family and friends, they have been witnesses of all the good there is in this life. And I am so grateful for that.
