This week.




  
We welcomed two new happy changes into our life this week. The first- beautiful, warm (well, hot!) weather! There are blossoming trees on almost every block of our little city. I've been taking walks with Emmy in her red stoller every day, and letting her play for a little while outside. She loves being outside. She looks so in awe of all the new things she is seeing. (And she is getting pretty good at responding to "no", like when I tell her not to eat flowers and grass and rocks.)
*The picture documents the time when her bedroom was too hot for her to fall sleep in, so she slept in her playpen. Doesn't she look enormous? She is growing so fast.


The second welcome change...is our new dining room set! Bron called me at work, saying he had just seen that there was a new set at our local used furniture place. The put pictures up of their new things on facebook as they come. He sent me the picture, and I met him at work, and we bought it for $75. 
We're so thankful! I had found something before Easter that I thought would work, and Bron said he preferred that we wait for something better. I am so thankful for his leadership there, and wisdom. It was so worth the wait- it cost so much less, and it suits our needs so much better. Life is feeling like an adventure lately, as we watch God provide for our needs and make our house more into a home.



Looking forward to more warm weather, and more fun outside with Emmylou, and making use of our new space and table. Hope you are all enjoying Spring!

Our weekend in DC,

I had mentioned to Bron within the last year that I would love to see the cherry blossom trees in DC sometime. And little did I know, that he was planning a weekend away for our little family, as a late birthday present. We stayed with friends, which was such a blessing and we so enjoyed getting to hang out with them. It was so nice to be away, together, with nothing to do but enjoy eachother. Emmy slept well, and even napped on a blanket in the grass when we were out and about. God gave us such a beautiful day! The sky was so blue, and the sun was so bright. It really made it feel like Spring was here. Here are a few pictures of our fun day out.
