"small" adjustments

i decided to wait to comment on "life with the fazakerley's" and what a snapshot of temporarily living with a grown youngest daughter, emily, her thoughtful husband, jeffrey, and a little sparkplug of a granddaughter, eiley grace, OH and how could i forget their adorable (and extremely cuddly) puppy, buster... this little family smooshed themselves into our household in the middle of june, so it's safe to say that timmy and i have a clear, day by day, reality of what it's like to be parents/grandparents in a very close-up and personal way... it's lovely... i don't know what the fazakerley's may think? but we are greatly enjoying being involved in their very busy lives...maybe it's our time of life? and the fact that we have summers "free"? (thank you garden grove school district...) but i really don't think there could be anything more satisfying than seeing your children with their own children and thoroughly approving of the amazing job they're doing in raising their daughter... no, life for them is probably not so easy when you think about moving across the country, moving in with your parents and wondering what the boundaries may actually be when put into action (of course those grandparents have the best intentions ever...) but graciousness does abound, and no lack of daily prayer laying at God's feet for guidance in every aspect of combining two households... God is good, and we are very thankful for this time... now, if i could just control the misty moments that come up when i think that aunt jenna and uncle andrew would SO appreciate being here as well (this would only be if we had a home with at least 6 bedrooms and as many baths... OH and a gigantic kitchen, OH and perhaps a grandma/feefaw who actually made use of that kitchen...dare to dream)...but you know? if all of this was neat and tidy and we had everyone we loved within arms reach? it would probably be heaven... soooo apparently there's always more to look forward to... meanwhile, this is just one of the small adjustments we have to make... looking at THIS little face everyday (and it's so much better if you have the eiley soundtrack)
