Gaining Balance

We have found a new balance for our family.  Jonathan has found that in order for him to have balance in his very unbalanced schedule, he has to give things up.  He has given up running, for now. When he's home, he's playing with the girls or sleeping. Or talking to me ☺.  

And I have found that I need to do more things around the house. I find myself taking the trash and recycling to the curb, pulling weeds, and hanging up pictures-things I always took for granted that J would do. But I am okay with it, mostly because I know that Jonathan wants to do those things but if I do them, it helps him out. He feels bad that a lot of times he has to sleep when he wants to stay up and play, but that is a reality.  So we do the best we can, get through the hard days, and look forward to the good days.  I love it when the girls hear the garage door open and they run to Jonathan yelling "Daddy, Daddy! Oh, hi Daddy!"  He loves it too.
