I wondered when this day would come. The kids were so excited to see the work started on the backyard. This was a really hard decision for me and our household. I know it will be worth it, but it has been a stressful month for me. Getting all the quotes and information and finally making the decision to spend the money. It has been hard but seeing their little faces and hearing their comments has proven to be worth the wait.Nathan watched the action very closely and while I was washing dishes after breakfast he makes sure he has my attention.
"Mom, mom, look at my face. Look at my face."
I look at his face.
"I am so happy. I am so happy to get a backyard." runs off to the nearest window to watch the activity.
I look down at the dishes and wipe my tear with my shoulder.
Nathan runs to the car after school.
"Mom, mom, are they still there? Are they still working on the backyard?"
Me: Yes, honey, they are still there working. We pull up, he darts out of the car, straight into the kitchen at his place at the sliding glass door and looks up at me.
Smiles so big I think he achieved a full on ear to ear smile "Now, this is what I call home, sweet home".
Me: Off to wipe some more tears with my shoulder.
