We went to the rodeo tonight to say hi to my husband and to my mom’s husband while they worked a volunteer shift. They were working down the street from where my grandma lives now, so we walked over after visiting her. We surprised them. Everyone in their cabin knew who we were and knew about my baby already and was excited to see her.
Then my cousin came and joined us with her son, and we went exploring with them for about an hour. We made it to the petting zoo for its last five minutes, browsed books in the first of many little libraries – more to be checked out tomorrow (pun not intended, but adored) – saw some newborn chicks, pigs, sheep, and cattle, rose a humongous escalator – well, they did and I watched – looked at carnival lights, and spun a huge tire. It was a grey family time, and so truly enjoyed it.
Thank you, God. Keep my husband and me and the baby safe and well, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
