Fullness of Life

Okay, now that you've seen where we live I feel like you know us a little better. The home is such an intimate place. A reflection of who we are as a family. Our house is full of life. It's dirty, loud and fun, and I wouldn't want it any other way. This is the place that we can let down our walls, be crazy, laugh and cry. We've got lots of room, so come on over for a visit!!

So..6 months ago I was saying that I couldn't wait for September and October because that would hopefully mean that we were in our new routine and starting to feel settled in this new home of ours. Well, we're in a pretty good routine. The kids have made major improvements in their behaviors and sleeping habits. I attribute this to "settling in". I've come a long way since my summer sadness. I still don't completely feel settled, but more than I did even a month ago. I'm still missing friends and haven't quite found any new ones. Isn't that always the hardest thing about moving?!? In this season though, I have found a closeness with my Father and with Nate and the kids. We spend all our time together instead of being bogged down with activities and social events. I'm looking forward to finding some friends, but want to keep life simple. (is that even possible with 3 little ones?)

I'm planning a 1st year birthday party for a very special girl. Is that possible??? Where has time gone? Someone sent me a text after watching Marley for an hour and she hit the nail on the head...she said "that Marley really is something special". I couldn't agree more. Marley is bubbly, friendly, funny, cute and contagious. I'm loving every minute of her little life. I can't believe I'm on this side of my life. Thank you Lord!!
