The Folks Upstairs

We live in my parents basement apartment, which in itself is a blessing. The best part is we all get along, well mostly...haha!

Seriously though, I've thought to myself from time to time maybe we should be on our own. We've owned a house in the past and it was great experience, but it does come with a different set of a responsibilities.

I love that we can share the experience of raising our son. It's awesome for my son to see his grandparents every day; I'm not sure who enjoys it more, Liam or Nana & Papa.

A few other benefits; we take care of each others pets when we are away on vacation. We get the benefit of having a dog without all the responsibility. Built in babysitters. Sometimes we share meals. We have tea together pretty much every evening. Plus this house needs a handyman & my hubby is pretty good with fixing things or knows someone who can. It's also a great space for my son to play outside.

Basically life is good living with, but separate from the folks upstairs. We take care of each other & have fun together. What better blessing for all of us. Thankful for all the family time we have.
