We have moved.† We are now living in the house I grew up in.† My Daddy remarried and is letting Kei and I live in the house.† I had such mixed feelings about this at first.† Now I am super excited.

There is a ton to do, things to paint, things to update, changes to be made.† But I am home.† Funny how life goes full circle.† I was 9 when we moved here.† Kei and I moved in when she had been 10 3 weeks.

There is still things that need to be gotten out of here.† <my brother’s stuff..hint hint> ;)† Daddy has things everywhere, especially outside, but it feels like home.† It feels like MY home.

We have a room just for homeschooling!† A WHOLE ROOM filled with bookcases!

And crazy as it sounds, we are already running out of bookcase room!

I have painted and redone what was my Mom’s bedroom and is now mine.

We have painted Kei’s bedroom.

She still wants to paint her bed…purple. It is a deep, grape colored purple.

I painted Kei’s bathroom.

There is still tons to be done. The house is in great shape but hasn’t been updated in forever! We have big plans Lucy!

Kei has a pet chipmunk that stays on the patio.† She feeds him bread crumbs and grapes. She named him Chippy. Since she begun feeding him, he has been joined by birds and squirrels. Can you say menagerie!

We have room for all of our friends to come visit at the same time!† We are so blessed and feel so lucky to be here.† I know Momma is up in heaven, grinning…

We went to HS Skate Day and the kids exchanged Valentines.† It was the 1st time Kei has made a Valentine box since 1st grade! We had a blast!

Gina’s step mom passed away unexpectedly Friday.† She and Gina’s dad were in Panama City.† Gina and Bobby left to go down to be with her dad.† Brit and Cody are here and as sad as the circumstances are, we are delighted to have them here.† We have had such fun having a taste of a bigger family!† Gina you are in our thoughts and prayers.† We love you much!

Life is good.
