Changes.

The first change is my new blog header.  What do you think?!  I am "moving furniture" a bit around here and am not done, but progress is being made.  I am one of those people that likes to keep life interesting, so I like to change things on a pretty regular basis.  Yes, I am a "furniture rotater!"  But, I do think this blog header is here to stay!  I love that it is unique to our family....
  • Four kids... four letters in the word "love"
  • Three boys and one girl, thus making the colored heart unique to our one girl
  • The word "love" being a part of my title anyway!
The next change in this family is that we are officially DONE with school today.  Yes, we are slow to finishing, but we were put behind with a medical furlough to America this winter to add a new baby to our family.  We will be celebrating by taking the kids to a little cake place in town and letting them pick out their own piece of cake behind the shiny glass. 

The third change is that we now have concrete in our garage.  This is big news for us around here because the kids can now enjoy their {short} summer vacation playing basketball outside (and no longer in my living room!)  I know I promised pictures of our home, and I'll get to those soon.   With a busy family and a busy ministry [David is filling in as pastor again this summer... until October], I am only blogging twice a week.  But, I'll start posting those soon, so be looking for them.  The tour is about to begin!

  3. I know I already wrote you an email (did you get it?) and told you how adorable your header is! Great job!
    We just began school for the 2011/12 school year this week. Since we will be heading to the states on a furlough next spring I wanted to get a head start on school. It's very difficult to keep up or be consistant while on the road so much.
    Looking forward to the tour!
