Woke up early this morning and realized all 3 kids are home and asleep upstairs. By midnight, tonight, one will be gone again.
My oldest is home again after graduating college, until next spring when she gets married. My second oldest, an area director at Spring Hill Camps and she came home for a wedding. She’ll be gone for that by 1:00PM and will drive back to camp either late tonight or first thing in the morning. My son, the youngest, a senior in high school, has been gone on a Teen Service Team working at a summer camp for the last 2 weeks.
But right now, at this very moment, they are upstairs sleeping in their beds, just like they always used to, early on a Saturday morning.
In a year, two of them will be graduated from college, the third getting ready to go off to college. A year.
Now. Right now, I’m sitting downstairs, realizing how precious it is to have them all here at one time.

College? Married? What?! Where has time gone?!!! We just had our 4th, the bigs are 9, almost-8, and 4.5. We definitely are at the other end of the spectrum!
That spectrum changes fast! Treasure every spit-up covered moment. :::wink:::
