The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

Day 30: A picture of someone you miss

Day 30: A picture of someone you miss



 Considering that we just moved to a new state I do miss a lot of people. Besides Damian who is in most of the pictures, although it could be said that I miss this age, and myself, I miss all of these people. This is my grandparents house. When we are home we usually sit at this table. My grandmother rarely lets me cook because I am never home for long. My grandfather who is a big kid himself. My uncle, cousins, and my nieces (I only have posted and as of this year I have three nieces). I am missing being a part of my family's lives, of them being part of my own. Time does not stand still, only stretching until I return home to older different people. Maybe I am the one who is different and my realization that time can be unfriendly to people that we love. I am guilty of holding the last picture I have of a person in my head until I see them again. I am missing a life that is not my own. I miss being an active part of a big family instead of a bystander listening for news over the telephone. If you can't tell I am more than a little home sick.
