I am up to my knees in
things...
things to give.
things to keep.
things I don't know what to do with.
The boys {all four} had a blast of a weekend...
with their cousins, Nana & Papa.
I was
supposed to get
a lot done with
only 2 children home.
...only problem is that the 2 children at home
...were 2 little girls with a cold.
All they wanted was mama to hold them...
and I did...
but that made packing harder.
I took turns wearing them in my gypsy wrap.
It was special even if I didn't get
enough done.
Eliza did find herself a
wonderful place to sit
...and watch mama work in the kitchen
...while I wore Nolia

My baby girls are growing up so fast
...just look at Eliza in that picture
...she's such a little girl!
oh my lovely girls.
You all are so
wonderful...you write me emails
tell me you're thinking of
our family
praying for
our family
caring about
our family.
AMAZING.
You all
bless me more than I could
ever say.
Thank you!I
wish I had the time to write you all back...
I've marked all of your emails
...hoping to have time after the MOVE to write you back.
I'm hopeful!but know you blessed me and I am so thankful for you.
This moving thing is
hard...I've never moved with a family before.
hard physically. hard emotionally.I am so
sure it is the right thing though.
This is what
God wants us to be doing right now.
and I am learning amazing things through all of this.
Thank you God for this hard time.
for molding me and showing me.
How
blessed am I.
I have moments of wanting to give
everything away...
then I am
overcome with sentimental emotions...
I realize that I have more than I have
ever wanted...
I don't care for material things...
but they surround me...
how did I surround myself with things?
So I give it away...
I
love giving things away.
and then sometimes I am overcome with sentimental emotions again.
but I'm learning
and discovering what is
truly important.
Marriage & mothering are a
challengethrough those challenges we
grow and learnand become more
like Jesus.
So the
more the challenges
the
more opportunities to become
more like
Jesus.
So I am
thankful for these challenges
...even though they are
really hard!
I better get back to packing.
