Joys

 In the midst of the chaos of moving and unpacking (which seems to progress slowly with a newborn and toddler -- go figure), we are choosing to find joy in the simple pleasures of living in a home.  Things that I'm sure someday we'll take for granted, but for right now, they are such treasured gifts!  We haven't even tried to make a to-do list yet, because everywhere we turn is another task, big or small, crying out for our attention.  But we've chosen to set some of the lesser things aside, to be grateful for what is finished and enjoy this precious time with our young family.  And we have so much to be thankful for!

We feel blessed to have a yard to water!  No one enjoys it more than Elli, however.

The girl cannot get enough!

Summer will be a sweet time for us!

And little sister finds it all very fascinating... from a distance.

 What a special way to end a busy day!

A treasured glimpse into our next several years with our precious family in our first home, that brought laughter to all of us, and a few tears to this Mommy's eyes.  I'm so digging this life!
