I heard this song ( http://www.rodneyatkins.com/) today while doing laundry.... It made me think of Dax... his hometown.... his friends and the connection they all have to one another. I feel like our little piece of the world here in the Hill Country is gonna be that way for our kids. I never thought that the nomads that Dax and I are would stay in one place too long, but now I can't imagine being far from here.......... Oh heck, I just jinxed us :)
We just got back from visiting Dax's hometown and "people". It a was a great time. And fortunately, although I was a little under the weather I waited till we returned to get sick as a dog! We saw most of the family. We laughed and played and ate good food. The kids enjoyed grandparents, cousins, and b-day presents. Robin's best friend Cheryl's came by and we met her baby for the first time. He is just a sweet little doll. It is great to see new life after such a profound loss.
We were able to visit Robin's grave for the first time. It is a beautiful memorial.... very fitting for her beautiful life. We also saw the cross that was placed where the wreck happened........ it is amazing..... blue like her car (she loved that car)..... funky.....classy........ beautiful..... *miss that little sister..... super cool aunt*
When we returned home, I hit the bed and have hardly gotten out except to feed kids, change the babysitter (Oh dear.... unless you have kids and what feels like the worst flu ever.... don't look down on me for saying that TV is a GREAT babysitter), and wipe bottoms...........ahhhhhhhhh
~Restless kids, Messy house, dishes piled to the ceiling, sick mom who needs a manicure and has aweful dark roots....... poor dad who has had to listin to me gripe, rub my feet, and hold me when I cry~ I love you, Dax!
