I finally made it to the Acreage late last night. All of the littles were in bed, so I anxiously waited to get my arms around them. Joseph woke up for his night time feeding just as I went down to bed. It felt SO GOOD to hold that chunkster in my arms again and he instantly cuddled in close. He was happy and good for Gramma and Grampa, but I think Gramma will enjoy getting a full nights sleep again! I fed him his bottle and snuggled him on my chest for a little while. It just felt so natural and good to have him back in my arms after a week. I couldn't kiss his chubby cheeks enough! Since Daddy is away in Goosebay I get to share the bed with Hyrum. A few minutes after I crawled into bed he scooched across and snuggled his tiny body into mine. It's so great to be home! In the morning I surprised the kids with their presents. Camilla wore her new dress to church and it looked darling! She also managed to con her brother into letting her play with his new Ukulele.
After church the littles changed to help Gramma with the chores. I couldn't get over Hyrum's "farmer John" look and his stance as he talked with the chickens. I missed that little man and his curly blonde locks so much!
Camilla and Hyrum helped Gramma collect the eggs. Just as we left the hen house we noticed the rooster was out. We got him back where he belonged and then noticed a whole bunch of chickens were up in the top garden. Hyrum was all over it and gladly helped coral them back to their pen.
I think we will be spending a few more days here before going home. It was so bittersweet driving away last night, looking at Mr. Stannix in my rear view mirror, but looking forward to seeing the children all at the same time. While he's away at his Dad's we are going to enjoy the Autumn air at the Acreage and help Gramma with some canning and gardening.
