so, i am sitting in the house!!!! i am surrounded by piles of boxes, some empty, some full, paint cans (a few touch-ups needed) happy kiddos with their toys, sunlight streaming . . . no - pouring! through my windows, the smell of supper in the crock-pot, the sound of the dishwasher (allowing me a few minutes to sit here!), walls and floors and cupboards and windows and doors and boxes and furniture built and installed and carried in by wonderful friends and family. and i am overflowing with gratitude. gratitude. gratitude. (pictures tomorrow. i promise!)
