Just a quick update before heading to the States: The house is soooo close to finished! Painted, floored and inhabitable. We've moved some furniture into place and have unpacked a few more boxes but the rest will have to wait til my return. It is settled enough for Billy to be functional and comfortable with the three kids that will be home with him while I'm away. I'm posting only a couple of photos now but be prepared to be inundated upon our return!
The boys and I have started our seeds for the veggie garden. They really seem to enjoy the gardening tasks and are fascinated by the rapid growth of the plants, especially the bean we put in a glass with a paper towel that we can fully watch grow! They will have a list to help Billy with over the next three weeks in preparation for our transferring the plants in to the veggie patch when I get back, namely, pukeko-proofing the garden!
Mikaylie and Nani are very excited about our upcoming trip to the States. I know we'll have a great time and I'm eager to see friends and family but it's so hard to pull myself away from our new home right as we're able to get settled. Such a different attitude from nearly a year ago, eh? I finally feel as if we are making a home here. NOW I feel we are where we're supposed to be and feel so very blessed and grateful to God for it!
Next post will be from America! Hope to see ya there!!!
