The not-so-glamorous side of moving

Remember moving?  And not being able to see your kitchen table for days?

And having to hang a lot of these?  (Nathan contends that roller blinds are ten times harder to hang than curtains and he will be glad never to see another one for a very, very long time).

Remember living out of one of these?  And walking around them on your floor until you can figure out exactly where all of the contents will go?

That's our life these weeks.  It's a good thing a lot of ministry is on hiatus now (last weekend marked the end of summer - it's now August break.  It is giving us a chance to settle in; but also set some goals for this next year, plan our events and program content, home school calendar, and establish a new routine for our family (including a lot of independent language study)!

Nathan has converted the kitchen island into a temporary carpentry station where he is devising hanging rods on the underside of a bunk bed for hanging clothes.  No, we don't have any closets. ;-)

But now we going to sweep up the sawdust and put the power tools away, pull out the flour and get out the gift wrap because today is the last day this little boy is officially four.  

Yes, someone is just a little excited to have a day tomorrow all about him.
