Home

Gracie is adjusting well to Kindergarten. She likes her teacher and seems to be enjoying making new friends. She likes to go everyday but only has one complaint. She feels as though she doesn't have enough time to enjoy home. She has more than once complained about not being able to play with her toys or sit and do a craft project. I know she is playing and learning at school but there is just something about being home that is good for the soul. For me it is a place to relax, recharge, regroup and prepare for going out into the world again. For Gracie it is a place to play and create and be herself.

For several months we were uprooted and I could feel it. And the kids could feel it. And, if I'm honest, we were all a bit grumpy. Now we are starting to find those roots again. We are settling in to our new home. 

I have not done much sitting still. We are quickly working to get our new place in order so that we can accomplish a few of the items on the "Prepare for baby #3" list before this sweet little girl makes her arrival. Hopefully in due time and not before. 

But today, I'm sitting a little. I'm enjoying hearing Evan play in the basement. I'm enjoying the organizing we have done and fully confident we will get to the rest in time. I am basking in the peace that the Lord has provided in the midst of all these boxes and bubble wrap. I am thanking Him for the blessing of home and all the love it is filled with.
