Making a house a home takes time!

Posted by on

It's been a whirlwind of packing, cleaning, more cleaning, painting, loading, unloading, unpacking, sorting, arranging, rearranging, weeding, sweeping, mucking, and  a whole lot of other "ings". :)

The whirlwind has not left....but the chaos is beginning to look a bit more orderly and the house is starting to feel like a home...our home!

Trying to combine two kitchens was a CRAZY endeavor that took 2 days from start to finish....well worth it, though!




The kids have been hard at work pulling weeds. I am so bummed that I forgot to take "before pictures" but just imagine 2 feet of weeds everywhere you see dirt or rocks! I was so blessed by their efforts!

And our newest project today....goats. :) We couldn't pass up free goats to help trim down our back yard...and we couldn't help but laugh at how funny it looked to have 2 goats in the back of our mini-van. :) The stories that mini-van could tell if it could talk!

Meet Hershey and Daisy:




We are so thankful for all those who helped to get us into our home....watching the kids, cleaning, painting, moving loads of boxes and furniture, flowers to make our entrance inviting....God used each person and each situation to bless and encourage our hearts in the midst of the craziness and weariness of moving! Our hearts are full of rejoicing to be in our home...so thankful for God's goodness and grace to undeserving us!



"Oh, how abundant is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You and worked for those who take refuge in You, in the sight of the children of mankind!"  Psalm 31:19

Loved the pictures! Dad is sitting here laughing that his son is a "goat boy". He sits in his chair and random laughing just bursts forth! I was impressed with the pics of the kitchen. WOW ... what a job. So glad things are continuing to fall into place. Can't wait to see it in person Love you all!

YAY!! So glad the majority of the really hard grimey work is done! Been praying for you guys!
And I agree with Hope-- I am laughing that you guys have goats! Are they yours for good or just borrowing them? You're well on your way to being the funny farm ;-)
Love the kitchen-- did the barstools come with the house? Looks great! Can't wait to see it in person sometime.
love you all!

Hey, sounds awesome! We are so happy for all of you. We can totally relate to the goats in the van - Naomi had two goats to take to a 4H event and guess who's van they rode in? Anyways, please tell Brian that no matter how much he tries...he can't change goats to sheep.
