My baby boy is growing up.

David is so funny to me.
He likes dirt, but can't stand mud.
He likes to play in my mom's freezing cold creek, but hates the hose.
He loves to eat sticky things, but as soon as he's done he must be washed off.
He sleeps with his hands behind his head.
He loves "tractor machines."
He sings songs to himself all the time.
His favorite movie is Thomas the Tank Engine.
I can't believe my baby is 2!

HOME

Back from the mega vacation. Will post on that later.
Lately I have felt a great peace about our house.
This is a good thing. Many days I feel super cramped.
But not right now.
I suffer from envy often.
Some days I am not very grateful.
But right now, for this season, I feel at peace and happy with where we are.
Interestingly enough I came to this peace while we were off on vacation.
And when we got home an opportunity came up to move to a MUCH BIGGER HOUSE with a BASEMENT!!!!
It was sorely tempting. And yet, I knew thru prayer that we were to stay in our current home for now. And there was great peace with that decision.
Sometimes I struggle with answers, not knowing exactly what I should do.
This was not the case this time.
The answer was clear. The peace that came as a confirmation was powerful.
It still gets exciting when we try to squeeze in guests, but we love it. And I am grateful to feel "at home".
