a humble glimpse of the life God has graciously widdled out in our little neck of the world
I admit, I grabbed the camera before telling Ella “No!”.
I just couldn’t resist…spit up must taste really good…plus it has to be good for A’s immune system…right?!?
(You can tell that A is our second…I will go on the record for admitting that I NEVER would have let Ella “kiss” B!!!!
Be blessed.
For this hands free baby device!!!
I have a confession…little A has developed quite the bald spot on the back of her head!
A has been deprived of some (not a ton, but some) quality “holding time” as she has recently spent more time in her swing, crib and play mat. It’s hard to hold a baby and unpack boxes at the same time.
In effort to save the remaining hair and keep our littlest one entertained and happy, I hung this bouncer in the doorway to the room where we seem to spend the most time. The bouncer seems to keep A pretty entertained as she kicks her feet along the threshold and bounces in her own little bubbly way.
Be blessed.
We took a break from unpacking and headed to the park today. In typical B fashion, all the diggers on the playground were discovered and played with, several times over!
Little A watched her big brother from a distance and seemed to imagine what it might be like when she can tag along.
I need to be better about taking breaks like this…to truly savor these two precious nuggets!
Be blessed.
B seems to be unpacked and settled in his new little house…
The rest of us…not so much!
Everyday, a little more progress is made…just today I found the scotch tape and desk lamp!
Other items continue to surface, though unpacking a family of four seems to be quite a practice of patience.
Be blessed.
After almost 8 years (not that we have been counting or anything!) my youngest brother, J proposed to his dear K!!!!!
After the proposal, J surprised K with a special day to celebrate with both families at one of J & K’s favorite places (the cabin).
We couldn’t be more thrilled that J and K are finally tying the knot and so look forward to finally calling K “Aunt K” instead of “Miss K”!!!!
Congratulations K & J! We love you both!!!!
Be blessed!
C’s Grandy dubbed his grandchildren as “Nuggets”…I find the term quite endearing as it has officially made its way into C’s and my vocabulary.
These are my two favorite little nuggets…one about to have a bath and one just finished with a bath. I can’t help but notice how much this pair is starting to look alike.
I wish I had more photos to share…the camera charger hasn’t surfaced from the mountains of boxes yet and my camera is long past dead. I snuck this photo off my mom’s camera and hope to sneak more as the task of unpacking is far from over!
The lack of camera battery hasn’t kept our spirits down as last Thursday we finally became home owners again!
God’s providence and provision has been incredible throughout our entire transition…C and I are humbled beyond words. I hope to one day (once all the boxes are unpacked) sit down and journal about everything that has transpired in our decision to move north…starting with C’s interview and then reflecting on the decision itself, packing, saying goodbye, the actual move, the house search, unpacking, finding a new school for B, meeting new neighbors etc. etc.
Until then, I will humbly chew on the myriad of thoughts running through my head associated with the move and unpack the seemingly endless number of boxes accumulated around our new home.
It feels so good to be together in our new home, making new memories and living life together as a family of four. It is fun to imagine all the ways we will work to make our new neck of the wood special and unique while trying to remember that this isn’t our permanent home…only Heaven is. (Perspective is hard to maintain when moving into a new house…our home improvement wish list seems to grow by the day).
I will try to get the charger located as soon as possible to share more photos of the nuggets and the new place we call home.
Happy Wednesday.
Be blessed.
