It has been an exceptional 18 months in our family. We have had so many hardships and challenges and changes...
When I think back on the time, I realize how close our families are and how well we pulled together to help each other. Very emotional times in the Barrett-Grieshop clan and they are spanning a country from coast to coast.
Both Matt's Dad, Jim, and my Dad, Ken, have been incredible sources of support for
us. From general back-breaking labor, to babysitting, chauffeur, to confidant, silly grandpas, to silly pappys...they've done it all and they haven't complained! Thank you Jim and Dad!
Happy Father's Day!
Of course, Matt deserves a Happy Father's Day pat on the back, as well. He's been so torn between the strong pulls of his new job and social expectations of the work (lots of driving to various organic farms or farms interested in going organic all over Michigan) and his family
ties.
Our little trip to CA last week was just what we needed as a family. A mini-vacation and plenty of time for Matt to spend some good quality time with Sam and with Arlo. I know he enjoyed it and now the jet-lag has worn off, we are feeling so good together.
