What a WEEK!

Crazy week! We are for all intents and purposes moved in. Just a few straggling items at the other house now that sill be rounded up and moved home tomorrow. It's almost all cleaned up and painted and the smell is pretty much gone (or I've gotten used to it). But it looks great and is just right. We still have the second bathroom and second bedroom and the laundry room to finish and then were done. We still have plenty in storage and mom and dads house. But they will return home soon. Overall, its nice to have the space but I'll be glad to get the cleaning painting and organizing done. As I told m sister "put a fork in me." But theis is definately a great blessing the Lord has given us and all his blessings come with a pricetag, for our benefit. As I recently read in a National geographic magazine -"there's no free lunch." As you can see though its a wreck, but honestly what do you expect we're moving and we living here.

I did take a break on Saturday and went to the civil war reenactment at McIver park. It was awesome. I felt like a ghost watching the past. Here's some pics. Lliam and Nedra went with Brig while I was at the broadcast that night. Lliam keeps calling it the seven war. But he thought it was really cool. Etta really liked the bands and music. I wish Lliam and Neddie had wanted to share this with me but it was still fun and I'm glad the got to go with brig that night. History is important and I feel this was a period where the lord's hand was evident, as it is during adversity. Sometimes its just hard to see the forest through the trees.

Then today Neddie noticed my earrings and wanted some. I told her we'd talk about it with dad and at church she found a more immediate solution from a dismantled dollar store bracelet. she's been wearing them all day.

And to finish off with a bang pheobe has figured out how to scoot. There goes the neighborhood! She does the perfect inch worm! its so cute. she's also the first kid to be in the 50th percental. Go FeFeLa (the kids nick name for her).
