We are moving...YEEEAh.  Our family has been under cramped quarters for quite some time for at least one year my family of 7 has been living in a 2 bedroom apartment or smaller.   For the most part things go off without a hitch.  Most of the times I actually like having the kids close by.  I can better observe their play, catch the 1 year old drawing on the wall, and the 4 year old putting glue on the 1 year old.  It of course helps with keeping things clean and tidy.  But of course we are bursting at the seams.  I am not sure if this problem is just indicitive to homeschoolers, but books and paper abound.  Our family has gone through many changes, mostly emotionally in our relationships (full story for another entry).  The move to a smaller space was for our family benefit.  Now that everything is stable we are heading to wider spaces.  I feel truly blessed, we are moving to a nice older home with huge living spaces.  My aunt owns the home and has completed many revisions on the property.  She is renting the home to us for a deal as well.  No more cabin fever.  I can send the kids to the basement to run off extra energy, or to build a snowman.  I am very excited.  I am anticipating this move to also help with schooling.  I should be able to not only be able to be more organized but also have more room to work with each of the kids individually.  I have to remain frugal as the green eyed monster may show its ugly head as I attempt to redecorate.  The move should be completed by this Sunday, so wish us happy moving :)

Thanks for praying for Candace tomorrow. I've sent word to her family and will post it on the prayer calendar as well to them know.

I will also be doing this for Emily who is scheduled for her first surgery on Tuesday. May the Lord heal these precious girls and give strength to their parents during this dificult time!

In Him,

Could you please let me know how many people are praying for Candace (as it asks on the prayer calendar). If you would like to sign in yourself there, let me know so I don't double it up.

Thanks so much again!
