Bumps and Bruises

Aubrey and Eli seem determined to fall at every available opportunity. I find myself examining every room like some sort of Secret Service operative assessing threat possibilities. As the summer comes to a close for us, I feel like I am also headed for my own metaphorical table corner. While I am excited about returning to teaching, a profession I love, I am so very sad about missing large portions of each day seeing Aubrey and Eli talk, walk, and grow. Sigh. But I never lose sight of how blessed I am to have two healthy children. Nobody said it would be easy!
