The House is Coming Along!











We had a wonderful but very busy weekend as our friend Becky from Cincinnati came to visit us and help us get settled into our new house. She's an interior designer and it was lots of fun to hear her ideas about our new place. She's such a great friend and we had loads of fun together. She styled Sky's hair a few times and we all attended Sky's vacation Bible school performance on Sunday. We also took a trip to the beach which was lots of fun. We worked on things like window treatments, landscaping, furniture placement, bedding, and lots more. There is still so much to do but we're trying to just take a day at a time. Our friends, the Denhams, finally got their house which is right down the road from us and Ken is helping them with painting today and moving tomorrow. This week Sky is attending a different VBS connected with her preschool. We've had lots of neighbors stop by and welcome us to the neighborhood. Some brought flowers, cookies, banana bread, sparkling cider, etc. We feel so grateful to be in this neighborhood! Thanks so much to all of you who prayed for us as we searched for a house to buy! We are so happy here!
