58

After several hurdles and a couple attempts, we got the highly coveted pass. The pass that allows us to go from our Rotary Flames home to our white farmhouse home. We left Rotary Flames House as a family of four. I should’ve known that our pass would begin on Penn’s monthly birthday (March 24). She was greeted with huge balloons, and Penn’s face said it all. Her mouth was wide open in surprise and in awe, that she was home on her 58th month birthday.

We know this is only temporary. We don’t know what tomorrow, or even the next hour will bring. There are important decisions that have to be made in the days and weeks ahead. But this precious gift of family time at home means the world to us. So here is to baking cookies and waffles. And to giggles, laughter and family group hugs.

Time to taste test!

These two give me the strength to keep going. These girls are my everything.
