I am extremely grateful for the time we were welcomed into Grandma Betty and Grandpa Max's home in New Lenox. In many ways it seemed a bit da-ja-vou. I have a baby boy sleeping in the elevator. Same swim time on the deck outside.. the same highchair to clean all the pb and jelly on...and the same kitchen cabinets perfectly puzzle pieced together with both of our groceries. You see when Xander was Cooper's age we lived in the same little apartment while we made our "Appaloosa House".
I am very, very aware that we could be in a tiny, loud apartment in an undesirable part of town or that we could be in a trailer park somewhere. I truly am grateful for my hospitable in-laws. They have been loving, accommodating and I will always be grateful for the time we could spend there as a family. :)

I just want you to know that it was definitely a "privilege" having you live with us for those months! We were able to work through all the "issues" that arose and we were all better for it! We miss you... it is so quiet!
We miss the hugs,cuddles,games and reading! But we are so glad you're in your own home now - with puppies, sheep, chickens, baby calf, COUSINS and lots of place to run and play! Blessings!!
Grandma Betty & Grandpa Max
