Happy Summer!

We have been staying consistently busy lately, but I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is that has been keeping us occupied.

We have been in town for a year already! Some days it feel like we just got here, and other feel like we have been here all along. When we look at the home improvement we have done, it is nice to see the progress we have made. But, in being at home the majority of the time, I often see all the things that are left to accomplish… and because of Pinterest, I get too many ideas for things to create.

The biggest adjustment going on lately is the little people who have been running around my house on Monday and Tuesday mornings. Sadly, their time is up and they moved to KC this last week. Thankfully, their Dad got a job at the same church as their Mom so they won’t have to split up their Sundays. We are really going to miss them but the opportunity was a good one. Adelynn still talks about Willa everyday. One of the last things Willa said to her was “You’re my best friend.” It broke my heart a little to see one of her first friends leave.

We have been cleaning my stuff out my parent’s house over the last couple of weeks. There was a garage sale at the church yesterday to raise money for the youth to go to Bolivia later this Summer. Since my Dad saw that opportunity, we spent some time in my old room cleaning it out. We also packed up our own garage sale boxes and took it all to the church. It made everyone happy to have it done, including Adelynn. She benefitted from the new toys. She was hilarious - with the Furby and the Lincoln Logs specifically. We haven’t showed her all the old toys, but she calls the Furbys “owls”, she calls the Lincoln Logs “barrels” and she has completely fallen in love with a toy fire truck. This experience has also made us feel old.

If you follow my blog you will see that I have had a few projects lately. One was these curtains

and you can read about the bathroom project here.




Adelynn got TOMS! I’m slightly jealous as I am the only family member without any.


Happy Father’s Day and Happy Summer!!
