Nesting

If the statement that a family is a loosely woven and expansive nest, then it’s safe to say that our nest is about to get bigger. It’s already grown in our hearts, but things are about to get real. Real world real. Because that empty chair at our dinner table is finally about to be occupied. Forever.
Rumor has it he’s a pretty good soccer player. And he’s a big fan of Manchester United. So I’m trying to get the hang of it. I was never a very good soccer player. And I haven’t really been much of a fan.
But I am now.
Because he is. That’s kind of how the game is played. So I’m learning about soccer football. We’re also learning how to be fans of Manchester United. It’s a whole new world in the Todd household, y’all.
There is a sudden flurry of activity in our house. In the midst of our busy school and work schedules, we’re trying to put the final touches on this house, making room for one more person. So you could say that we’re in full-on nesting mode, helping this family container of ours expand some more.
Fortunately, his side of the Boys’ bedroom is ready. Chalkboard and all.
But we’re not just nesting. We’re packing, too. So we’re kind of in this weird state of cleaning and rearranging a bunch of things while also pulling stuff out to pack. Fortunately, I didn’t really fully unpack from my trip a month ago. But now there’s two more people flying out with me and one more coming back with us.
So we’re nesting. And packing. And nesting. And packing. And waiting. And getting ready. And nesting. And packing.
Because soon this journey to bringing Weldu home will come to an end.
And the real journey will begin.
