​What a week!

The Keniston household has been busy. My daughter and grandchildren came home with me for a week’s visit and a wedding this coming weekend. It’s lovely having them around in the home my daughter grew up in. Wouldn’t mind going back in time to the days when whole families lived on the same street, but sadly in these crazy days and times if we had to buy a home today we wouldn’t be able to afford our own house!
 
Then, just to add a little zip to our day, my husband was T-boned turning at an intersection. Thankfully the person who ran the red light was insured so we were able to take my mom (the passenger) to the hospital to check out her hip. Again, more thanks, her hip was just bruised from the seatbelt but at the ripe young age of 87 everyone was concerned she could have easily fractured that hip.
 
So now, we’re all moving about with company and one family car. It will be interesting until we get a hold of the insurance process. With only 66k miles on our old Mitsubishi, I’m hoping they repair the thing and don’t want to total it. We not only like the car but were hopeful it would last longer than we do LOL!
 
The good stuff – the grandbaby smiles in her sleep. That’s fun to watch. Would love to know what those dreams are!
 
As for writing, the plan is to get back on board full time next week when the family goes home and it’s just me and my computer, but until then, it’s all about the baby! Have to admit I love those little baby snuggles. It makes me understand why the Duggars had 19 kids – babies (if you have some help) are too sweet for words. Though I do think 19 is a bit much, but my daughter wants one or two more so I’m totally on board with rocking babies a few more times! As an only child I think having a bunch of siblings should be a blast, both growing up and then later in life when our parents are aging. Heaven knows I would love a sibling to help a bit with Mom and her dementia, but I’m thankful to have cousins who are there to make the road a little easier.
 
Do you come from a large or small family?
