New on the Blog: A Summer of Offline Fun. Welcome back! It's been 6 weeks since my last email, and it seems many of you are worried something horrible has happened to our family (sorry)! But what a wonderfully supportive community you all are. 🥰 I'm happy to report that the Dekker family is alive and doing well -- nothing but a few skinned knees and a bit of sunburn to worry about over here. In many ways, the last 6 weeks felt ridiculously full and busy, but it was a different kind of busy -- a slow summer busyness where every day ends too late, which makes it that much easier to sleep in a little longer the next morning, and the cycle continues until school starts (maybe you can relate). And yesterday morning was the day... I got ALL FOUR kiddos on the bus and then enjoyed the first full day to myself in almost 11 years! I went for a walk while listening to a favorite podcast, put dinner in the slower cooker, baked cookies, wrote today's email, and then read a book outside. It was glorious! Obviously, I will have many more responsibilities and to-do's on my plate in the coming weeks and months, but one day of peace and quiet was a pretty nice treat after 11 years! I'm sharing more about our summer + a Dekker family update on the blog today.
Thanks for sticking around, friends! ~ Andrea p.s. I'm also sharing what we finally decided on for an at-home phone service. |
