"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
2 Corinthians 5:17
The moving truck arrived.
We moved in.
We walked around and admired our new surroundings.
The kids fell in love with the stairs.
Alex turned 16.
Caleb and Alex went to church camp and came back with some "new old friends!"
Jake and Bailey played with fire.
We watched storms.
Jake and Bailey played in the rain.
Bailey wore her sunglasses at night...
and channelled her inner karate kid.
Painted Jake's bedroom.
Used old paint that smelled like burnt popcorn.
Needed to get out of the popcorn smelling house, so we went to the lake.
I realized that my son makes me look petite.
I refinished the frame on an antique mirror for the mantle.
Then, Meme and Gege came for a visit.
Alex tried to act like it was okay for Caleb to have physical contact with her.
Jake played the new guitar until his finger tips became sore.
Alex and Jake agreed to a midnight visit to Wal-Mart.
Caleb went to Wal-Mart too... on a different day.
I painted and decorated Bailey's room
and had vivid dreams about pepto bismol.
She loved it.
We had short visitors.
They wore Shawn out.
I had trouble keeping the lawn mower on four wheels.
Bailey and her friend Summer, from across the street, went for a swim.
The kids started their new schools.
I made no-bake cookies with Love for an after-school snack.
We saw a cool car at the grocery store.
Jake had trouble adjusting to not having 12 hours sleep.
He missed the bus and had to write.
I learned that Jake can be passive-aggressive.
Some friends came to visit. While they were here, they encouraged me to return to blogging.
Thank you girls!
