Look! No Net!!

Sorry for no pictures, but well, that's life right now.

Since coming back to Idaho, life feels like a precarious balancing act.
We are so grateful for parents who kindly take us in and let us live with them, we are so grateful for Reed's job that is slowly but surely helping us get back on our feet but we know that that is going to take us a while
at this pace.

We are precariously hanging on to the tiny tidbits of the familiarities of the life we knew before.
 It feels like if we let go of our old ways of doing things, of our habitual rituals that we might topple over into some scrambled pile of rubble with so many body parts and no one quite sure which ones belong to them. This is a tough time for us.
 We are trying to make a home life for our family in someone else's home.
We are so grateful to have the home but still hard to find the balance of doing things their way and losing our own ways.
 Bronwyn seems to be manifesting the most problems with all this change.
 Poor thing is on day 3 of digestive issues that we can't seem to quite get under control.
And no, it's not the stomach flu because no one else has gotten it.
 We are mindful of our blessings.
We are so grateful for our health and our happiness, so grateful for work and for our baby on the way, we just feel very uncertain about what Heavenly Father has in store for us in the future.
And what we're supposed to be doing in the meantime.
Have you ever felt that way?
 I just can't seem to figure out what our path is supposed to be right now.
 This whole outcome has been so totally out of the blue that we haven't known or figured out what's next. Hopefully we will soon.
 If nothing else, in about 4 months we'll have a new little person to brave this unexpected journey with. Hopefully she's cute.
 That might make up for all of this, just a little. ;)
