100% unpacked. Those last few boxes lingered in my hallway about a week too long, but I can now say goodbye to all of those millions of boxes.
100% ready for Eric to be done traveling, yet only 75% of the traveling has been done. :(
100% enjoyed using our imaginations at the Children's Museum we ventured to yesterday with our friends. It was way cool.

About Me
I was 19 the day that Eric and I got married and I had my whole perfect life PLANNED out—a time table, a list of goals, EXPECTATIONS, and dreams. But LIFE gave me something EVEN BETTER than my limited vision and plans: a chance to learn and grow and BECOME by experiencing infertility, foster care, adoption, special needs (autism) parenting, breast cancer, and more. Our lives are often challenging, PAINFUL, and complicated, yet it is no doubt that they are GLORIOUS, wonderful, and exciting, too. Our EXPERIENCES, the ones we DELIBERATELY seek out and the ones we would never have picked but we have to MUDDLE through anyways, SHAPE us. We CHOOSE what that shape will look like in the end by our ATTITUDE and our willingness to EMBRACE the moments of life. For it is the MOMENTS that DEFINE us. I choose to WALK FORWARD in the BRIGHTNESS of hope by noticing those moments, LEARNING as much as I can, SEEKING the good, and TRUSTING in a loving God.

the first thursday of every month is free!
I want to go, that looks like the best children's museum ever! Although the one we went to in L.A. is close. . . Thanks for posting a lot of pictures, I miss you all. : (
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! I love children's museums, but my kids have gotten a little old for them. Guess I have to wait for grandkids (or I could go visit my friends in Washington who have young kids and go with them!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being unpacked!
Oh Wow! That looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteDid Kyler just uncover a big foot footprint with his yellow rake? I hear the big, hairy man(?) is up there.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous on two counts. After 16 years in our house, I'm not sure we're really 100% unpacked! Okay, we're just not 100% organized - maybe that's different. We just need to move so we can start over. And I'm jealous of that fun museum! We simply must come visit.
