Home again, home again

Daddy time

K reading St. Francis

Daddy time

Sometimes there are things that, as much as I may want to, I just can not share in this space. Information that just would not be wise to put out for everyone and anyone to know. I honestly don't like holding it back because it feels like I am not being authentic, something that is very important to me, but I have to keep our safety in mind. I hope you can all understand.

With that said, you may have noticed that a member of our family hasn't been in any photographs on here in months. That is because for the past five months, Kevin has been overseas. I am happy to say that he just returned. We have missed him so and are so glad to have him home again. The children have been enjoying just being with him again and he with them, as you can see in the pictures above (Kevin was awake, by the way, he was just soaking in the moment.) Little L just can't stop smiling. It's as if he has no control over it. I think he is expressing what the rest of us are feeling on the inside but can't quite show. I love it!

Welcome home Daddy!

P.S. - K is reading one of our favorite books to everyone - Saint Francis and the Wolf.

Glad he's home safe with you. You are amazing to have parented solo for 5 months without ever mentioning or complaining and all the while making it look so fun and effortless
Amazing!

You are amazing! I'll think of you homeschooling, parenting and keeping house alone for months the next time I'm feeling uninspired and prone to self-pity. It must be a bliss to have everyone together again :)

With a husband who also travels overseas (but not for such long chunks of time!) I can certainly sympathize. Glad you made it through this tough period and enjoy being together again!

Oh, Nicole! Bless your heart!! I can't imagine how hard this must have been for your family. I am so happy he is home for you all.

welcome home!
I admire you Nicole! Three little ones, and a husband overseas. It must have been difficult.
Thanks for sharing.
Lots of love from The Netherlands!

Thank you for joining me here. My name is Nicole Spring AKA wife, Waldorf homeschooling Mama to four sweet little ones, homemaker of the radical kind, knitter, cook, seamstress, student of life as well as my children, crafter, girl of all trades... and always with a camera in hand to document our days so we may look back at these glorious yet exhausting times.

I enjoy hearing from you and would love it so much if you wouldn't mind taking the time to leave a comment. They mean so much to me (honestly, they make my day!). I appreciate not only seeing all that you have to say but also being blessed to get to know you better. If you ask a question please check back here for my response. I try my hardest to respond quickly. Thank you so much!!
