The Super Hero is Down
The Kiefer house has been infected! Yes, our leader, Mr. Kiefer, has been sick. Most of us will joke about how terrible it is when a man is sick because of how dramatic he becomes. In our house however it is no joke. Not the dramatic part. The terrible part. You see our house runs well because Mr. Kiefer and I work well together. He balances my frantic and helps in the day to day chaos. I make a mess in the kitchen. He cleans it. We dirty laundry. He starts the washer. I do a project around the house. He is there to pull me out when I get in over my head. I need a friend to talk with. He listens. He sets the morning alarm, wakes the children, and starts breakfast. So I bet you are wondering what I do? Yeah, me too. Maybe when I figure it out, I'll blog about it :)
Anyway, here is the point. When I realized that he was really sick, I panicked. I had a dirty kitchen, piles of laundry, several house projects to be complete, and I wanted to talk. How in the world would I get all this done? I depend on him so much to be there to calm my chaos. Seriously, it's like I was a damsel in distress and my super hero was taken prisoner. I realized I had to act so I did what any good wife would do. I bought tons of orange juice, gave him medicine, and put the children to work on the chores.
We survived the day, and I realized even more how much I depend on (+Chris Kiefer) Mr. Kiefer. He treats me like a princess. He runs our home with grace and love, and his actions prove that he is truly a selfless leader.
The Princess,

PS - I am now on a mission to discover exactly what it is I do for our family.

A Strong Reflection
This is blog worthy.
Today we stopped by the greenway to get some updated snapshots of the kids for our entry way table. After taking a few quick photos, my husband and son walked to look at the horses. I stayed behind to make sure I had the shots I wanted. When I walked to meet them, the image I saw completely took my breath away. Both guys were standing peacefully watching the horses. Their backs were to me and all I could think is "wow, what a strong reflection". I saw my little boy standing in the image of my husband. I saw him being mentored and loved. He was beginning to reflect the traits of my husband: steady, strong, loving, and relaxed. It put my mind at ease and filled my heart with joy.
My husband loves our children not because his blood runs through them because it doesn't, but his love and character does. No one forces him to seek their best interest, to take time to spend with them every day, to show up for school functions, or even sacrifice his desires so they can have theirs. Yet, by God's grace, this man has chosen to be bound to these children and we are better for it. From his example, my daughter gets to witness firsthand what it looks like to be treated like a princess, and my son gets to see how to treat a lady and be steady and strong.
Yes, life has been broken, but the pieces were put in the hand of God and He is creating a masterpiece!
