These last 5 weeks have been a dream. Even with 2 toddlers & a newborn, it felt like a vacation having him home. 🥹 He didn’t get time off when our first two were born, so experiencing the newborn season like this healed me a lil bit. ❤️‍🩹 Fire fam life comes with so much pride… but also with the ache of always missing our guy. It’s a never-ending cycle: long shifts & mandates, consecutive days of solo parenting, and then the relief of him walking through the front door. I’m always wishing we had more time before his next shift. It mostly feels like survival mode & then coming up for air when he’s back home. 🙃 But you adapt. You rewire. You carry the load because you have to… And then you appreciate time together so much more! The ones living this life with little ones and a fire daddyyyy already know. It’s a different type of beast! All my respect to the families holding it down behind the scenes. 🚒❤️‍🔥👨🏼‍🚒😗🫶 #firefamily #firewifelife
