Home Sweet Home

We've now been in our new home for 2 weeks and it's definitely home now. Although we had needed more space for some time, we had put off moving out of our townhome for reasons I won't go into here. But God made it clear that we needed to do this. It was a bittersweet process as we bought our townhome six months after we got married and other than living in Denver for one year, we've lived there for the past seven years. And it was the only home Anlon had known. So many memories there - but it was time.

My niece Khaya stayed with us for a few days during the week of our move. It was a little crazy having company the week of our move (since our guest bedroom consisted of an air mattress in the living room). But she is a very special young lady and was so wonderful with Anlon, as well as a huge help with packing.

This is one of Anlon's favorite books - our last night before moving.

Anlon was immediately comfortable in his new home. To say he is loving having more space is an understatement. He runs from room to room laughing so hard. God provided the perfect home for this time.

In addition to more space, we now have a yard! We spend a lot of time here and I know we'll spend even more when the weather gets cooler.

He loves his new room too and has a new favorite book - Star Baby (he still loves stars more than ever).

We know without a doubt that this is where God wants us to be right now and we are very grateful.
