Friday Recap

Phew! What a week we had over here. It was full of so many highs and lows. We had so much lead up to Andrew’s brothers wedding. It had been postponed a year and we were all ready for it to be here! Also we all were in the wedding including the kids so I was a little stressed the week prior. The actual wedding was so amazing. We danced all night long and really had the greatest time. But then the day after the wedding we heard from our beloved nanny of almost a year, that she had to move on to a new opportunity. I never share much about her, out of respect for her privacy, but she really has been such a huge part of our lives this past year. She came into our home shortly after Owen turned 1 and the girls were 3. Our life seemed all out of sorts at the time. I was behind with work projects, not the most patient or present mom and just felt like I was drowning. I knew I had to give up some control and not do it all on my own, because clearly it wasn’t working.

She came into our home like a real life Mary Poppins. She loved our kids like they were her own and helped me to BREATH. Heck she inspired me to be a better mom with how great the house would look when she’d leave at the kids nap time! I was trying to figure out why I was so so sad when I heard the news from her, because I knew this day would come eventually and I’ve realized why it is. At the time she came into our lives I felt so frazzled and behind on everything, like I couldn’t keep up. And so hearing that she was leaving made me fear that I’ll go back to that place again. But I know now that we are all better than we were back then.

I say all of this because I’m the one to never ask for help. I always try to do it all on my own, but let me tell you, asking for a little help clearly can go a long way. People are brought into our lives for a reason and purpose. God put her here to help me when I needed it most and we will always hold a special place in our hearts for Miss L.
