And the packing begins
We had a lovely weekend with family and friends and came back home refreshed and ready to hit the ground running. We were able to snag my sister to come up and help us with packing for a few days and at the rate we're going, this place should be all packed up and ready to move in a couple more days.
We're still waiting for the final word that the job is a go before we can sign a lease on the house we've picked out or finalize anything completely, but with the planned moving date looming next week, we have to proceed as if things are a go. I've certainly been learning a lot about being flexible and patient these last few months!
I'm off to pack up the office and bedroom, but I had to direct your attention to this great post by Carmon. I know it's a little outdated now since Christmas is past, but it's still a great reminder - especially to us new often over-achieving mommies. I really want to get my hands on a copy of that book, too, but I'm busy eating up the books by Barbara Curtis which came in my mail this week. More on those later, but let me just say they are really good. My sister even stayed up late last night after all her box-packing, dish-washing, and apple-pie baking (yeah, maybe we didn't just snag her for the packing of boxes! ;), to read a few chapters.
Note: I just had to say a big thank you to the many of you who have commented or emailed to say you are praying for us specifically during this time of moving. Things are coming together so smoothly and God has given me so much more strength and energy than I could have hoped for. I truly feel God answering your prayers and we very much appreciate you taking time to lift us up!

I will be praying for you as your move gets closer. I pray the Lord will bless you with a smooth experience.
I love the pic of Kathrynne(okay I think I totally just botched the spelling...sorry) was wonderful. I love the joy in her face :-)
Blessings,
Sommer
We will, of course, continue to pray. I can't wait to hear that you're all settled in your new home!
Crystal:
What a precious pic of Kathrynne! And will pray for the move. Thank you so much for your honesty in this season of your life, it has been an encouraging read.
Blessings,
LL
Crystal,
I'm so glad your morning sickness has subsided enough for you to get so much accomplished!
I MUST agree with everyone else by saying that Kathrynne's photo is SO precious. She is growing up so quickly!
p.s. Have you said to where you are moving?
