Life changes so quickly.
Within 18 days of returning to the States from Southeast Asia we moved out of our old home into a new h0use!

We are finally getting settled. Today I cooked a real breakfast for the first time and it felt so good.

After living from one suitcase full- of items, the kids are enjoying having most of their clothing back. 🙂

We have celebrated so many fun events in the last month of being home! Three birthdays, an anniversary, buying a house, buying a car, moving all of our belongings two (maybe three?) times…phew! 🙂 We also attended an incredible worship concert to celebrate this girl’s sweet sixteen last weekend!


You know your life is flying by when your third child turns 16! Thankfully we still have a few years left to experience toddler-hood. This little lady brings us all so much joy too!

Today’s post-breakfast plan: exercise, get dressed, look for a breadmaker at the thrift store, order groceries, and change the sheets. I wanted to add more to that list but I am holding myself back!
Only 7 more weeks until baby #9 arrives which means I may need to replace one of those with take a nap… 😀
