Emerging

We are emerging from the mountains of boxes, though there are still many to get to. But, we're here in our new home. We're thankful for it and happy to be on the other side. We're learning new sounds (like cows), new neighbors (deer), and new past times (new trails, new walks).  We're still trying to find homes for all of our books. With 7 degrees between us and homeschooling- we have a lot of books. Here are a few snapshots of our last 2 weeks. But what they don't show are the countless friends and family members who have helped paint, move, brought meals and helped us settle into our new home. We are so thankful. 

Midsummer

We're days away from moving and I'm feeling all stressed and sentimental.  To say the past few weeks have been hectic would be the understatement of the century. But they've been full of good things too- lots of trips to the creek, fairy dancing in the daisies in white dresses,  lightningbug catching when up way past bedtime, playing SORRY together, visiting Nana, playdates with friends, pickle making, biking at Green Lane Park and investigating our new neighborhood.  

On the crazy train

 We're on the crazy train around here. With less than 2 weeks until moving starts we got the flu and then hit 100 degree days.  Not the perfect scenario for packing.  Suffice to say, the Diffenbachs are a little stressed out.  Before sickness we had some fun visits with Aunt Sara and Ilijana and many a dip in the pool to stay cool! Now we're playing with sofa cushions and the light table so Mama can stay a wee bit sane. Still, we're thankful for many things and excited to start a new chapter. Lets just hope it cools down!
