They really do grow up fast. I know this is totally cliche and all. But you guys, when we left to hit the road 3 years ago we had 3 little kids.
.
We have come full circle back to our hometown after finishing the lower 48 states and we have a teenager and 2 not so little kids.
.
Yes, I know how time works and that every year we get older 😛but the transformation of my kids in the last 3 years has really hit me this month and is kind of blowing my mind.
.
And let me tell you, I freaking love these kids. I love their personalities, their quirks, their annoying parts . And I have loved watching them flourish in our time of full time travel.
.
These amazing little humans embrace change, they try new things, they understand the differences in our country because they have visited most of the states and know the vibe in the different areas.
.
They have been to tiny little remote towns and large cities. They have ridden metros, city buses , and hiked trails to the back woods of many national forests.
.
They understand the geographical differences in a deciduous forest, a dessert, and a coastal area because they have lived in each one of them for a time.
.
Our life is often so full of experiences and time together that I don’t always take time to reflect. But as I digest our experiences in the last 3 years, there is so much gratitude in my heart for what we have experienced!
.
We have lived so much life in this past 3 years! We know that we are entering into a new season. We don’t know what that means or what that looks like. But we are excited.
.
When your kids move into their teens you have to evaluate things and be sure that your life lines up with what they need. We are doing that but without any answers yet. But just as we have in every stage of life, we will just take it one step at a time.
.
And until we know exactly what’s next, I’ll be over here looking back on the amazing life we have lived in the past 3 years.
