The girls still regularly include in family prayers, "We're thankful for our new house." And we are thankful for our new house! We love it. And here's what we all love most --
Ben
A closet in our bedroom! And it has a light so he can see what he's putting on in the mornings!
Steph
A dishwasher is heavenly! Dishes don't sit for days and days now . . . well, except the crock pot!
Sarah
Our map. But you have to come visit to see why she loves it so much!
Allie
Okay, so she doesn't love it and she still cries on a regular basis including when I asked everyone what their favorite thing was. She misses the sidewalks to ride bikes on, the fire pit to climb on, the grass to do back handsprings on, sharing a room with her two sisters, and she says she even misses standing by the bathroom door with her legs crossed anxiously waiting for someone to get out of the one and only bathroom. She struggles big time! I have found one thing here that she really likes though:
She loves to play on this tractor that's sitting in our backyard (on loan from a neighbor) and sing about someday being in a rodeo. The girl of many dreams!
Kit
She said she loves having lots of lip gloss in her new bedroom! And she loved her black and white and red bedroom until recently when she decided she wants bright color polka-dots instead. Too bad--we are not redecorating every year!
Charity
Charity loves her brown and pink polka-dotted room. She love to show it off when people come. She loves to sleep in it. She loves to play in there with her toys. She loves to see "our new house" as we drive down the road (thanks to no other houses you can see it a mile away). "I love our new house!"
Our House
We love our new house and are very very very excited to be able to get a yard put in. We have lots of ideas and are scared about all the work it's going to take to beautify our two acres, but we are excited. And I'm excited today because a daffodil bloomed in the pot I bought at WalMart--since I have no other flowers. It's spring!!!
