Kesed turned four months old.
Grace Church started AWANA for the year. Jeremiah and I are teaching Cubbies (3 and 4 year olds). Emsleigh isn't 3 but since we are both in there, we opted to have her in there with us. She loves Cubbies and looks forward to it every week. Her willingness to memorize Scripture encourages me and we pray this is just the beginning of her desire to know God's Word. Here is Ems on mix match day for Cubbies.
A breath of fresh air in this crazy month was a visit from my dear friend, Alora. It was a perfect weekend together with lots of talking, walking, hiking, and eating yummy food. A thank you to Mark, who willingly gave her up and took care of all three boys on his own. We hope to not go another whole year without seeing each other!! Love you Alora.
We welcomed Ally, Abby's little sister, as well. Our friend Melissa visited the hospital with me and the girls. As you can see Kesed is already making Ally share her blanket.
We became homeowners this month. When Jeremiah and I got married I asked him if we could never own a house. Even though this is something I vowed I never would do, I am very thankful for our new home and excited (I think) to have a place that is our own. A special thanks to all our family at Grace Church who came out and helped us move. Thank you for cleaning and moving and helping with the girls. We are so very blessed by you.
The house is on a cul-de-sac with a community playground, basketball court and a huge area of grass. It is one story and a great fit for us. I am especially excited about the open floor plan! Here is the main area of our house before we moved in.

Although greasy and fattening, I have to say finding a Rally's nearby was a highlight of the month. :) Jeremiah and I both stepped back in time to some great childhood memories when we ate here. Mine included my dad, which made it extra yummy for me.
