Putting stuff away, trying to make sure the kids have what they need, that we are on time, I've hung pictures and planted bulbs, hung up window coverings, put the kids room together, put our room together, found chairs that will finish the living room, organized 65% of the storage things, put away our summer clothes, gone to MOPS, organized the car port, and had Sierra's IEP. She started speech last week. The speech pathologist is really good. I'm thankful that's in place for her.
Peter just handed me a homemade mocha- our expresso machine still works great. What a garage sale blessing.
Second hand shopping has become a hobby. It's like a treasure hunt. I've found lots of nice things for our home. It's fun to have a list of things I'd like to finish off a room and then wait to find them, all for $5 or less! :)
Things on my list:
A small round wooden table for between my two new old fashioned chairs.
A small secratary for my desk in the living room.
Small paintings
A cool old trunk for storing blankets
A quilt hanger for one totally beautitful red white and blue quilt! ;) Thanks Megan (the gym/game/guest room will be red white and blue)
A small dresser for holding towels in the master bath.
Peter just handed me an omlette--- this man is so wonderful!
So anyhow, I'm feeling more at home and able to settle in.
PS- Halloween marks an anniversary for me... that is when I started dieting. I've lost and kept off 56 pounds since then and I'm still working on it.

Becca, i'm so glad you are starting to feel more comfortable in your new home! That is quite an impressive list of things already accomplished! I can't wait to see more pictures of everything!
We miss you all, but it sure helps to get a peek into your lives! Don't forget to take a little time for yourself just to reflect on God's goodness!
Becca, things here are going well. I'm glad things are starting to run more smoothly for you. You are very welcome (the quilt). I'm glad it still has a place in your home and that it can serve as a way to help beautify it.
Peter used to have an old trunk that was full of blankets. I remember it well. Did he ever tell you THAT story???
I love your long hair!!:):) And how you guys had a theme for Halloween. Miss you.
