The Move

We did it!

When we bought our home back in the Spring, I thought our September move date would never come.

But here we are, three weeks in our new home.

Of course the pictures and stories to share are rarely of things, but of the people that I love and the joy that God's given us in this time of transition.

While change is always hard, we've been amazed at how God's provided friends for us and for our kids...at how he's granted us peace in the midst of homesickness.

One of my favorite memories so far was getting the house in decent enough shape to have a game night, in a FINISHED playroom.  This play space was one reason we bought this home and seeing us PLAY in it was a dream fulfilled :-)

Buddy lasts about 10 minutes before he starts changing the game to something involving his super heroes.  

All kids handle chance differently.  Judson decided to change his identity to Spider-man for about 4 days :-)

Thatcher was so close to walking at our old place but I don't think he likes the hard wood floor here.

He doesn't like how it feels on his feet or his knees so Mama ends up carrying him a lot.

He'll adjust.

Daddy and his projects.

We are thankful for our handy man, making our house beautiful.

We do sacrifice some naps and some of our sanity however.

 The school situation we have going for Ava is wonderful.
She is thriving, academically, spiritually, emotionally.
One day a week she takes classes at a home school support campus.
The kids have been so kind to her and she's making friends easily.
At home her and I are bonding and loving our days together.

The boys love hanging at the home school campus.  

Here, they are enjoying their "pizza" and "milkshake"

The backyard is getting started tomorrow!  WOOT.

For now it's a pile of dirt and rocks and someone usually falls and scrapes their elbow or knee when we try to play out there.  

Soon enough.  

We are thankful for this place!  As we make memories, it's feeling like home.  

Thanks to everyone who has encouraged us, prayed for us, or visited us.
