We are coming up on our first anniversary in this house and all I keep thinking is how blessed we are.
Somehow we found this incredible 'diamond in the rough' house and in one year's time we've transformed it into our very own home.
There are the obvious physical changes (like fresh paint, new roof, HWFs, and the landscaping), but when I look at our family, I see how much we've grown in the past year as well.
Josephine and Coryn have such wild imaginations. They set up forts and play make believe and get along like best friends. Even when one gets upset, the other slides in and knows just what to do to calm her sister down. CoCo is rambunctious and goofy. Jo is sensitive and always has an idea of how she can help someone. And now they are riding the bus to school together. They have kind-hearted teachers who answer all their why? why? why's? and plenty of new playmates.
Matt's painting business had a record summer, with both new and old customers showering compliments about his professional work ethic and personalized service. We've made the bonus room into Matt's private painting studio - aka Man Cave - where he can create to his heart's content.
And then there's me. Officially a full-time homemaker. Digging in the dirt, trying new recipes and organizing closets. Oh, and growing a baby. Another girl.
Honestly, life these days isn't too crazy. Its peaceful and joy-filled. It feels like home.
