Home, Sweet Home

To our readers, we send you our sincerest gratitude. It's been a little bit of a wait, especially for pictures. But, hopefully, this post will be a nice update for you.

Thankfully, the website started behaving, so we can now post the pics from our new home! We've made some changes since we took these pictures, but nothing too significant. We hope you enjoy them!

This first pics are looking on the front of the house, with the edge of the front yard in the foreground. It is a very beautiful compound, with two yards, a garden, lots of green areas and flowers. The yards also came complete with birds, bunnies, and cats. We will try and get a post up soon with those pics.


And, the lovely Julie with Benjamin. How blessed am I!


This is our entry way. The colorful carpet was originally going to be in Benjamin's room, but he doesn't have one. So, we improvised! This is also the room where Benjamin and his kitten friend look longingly at one another through the screen door.


And, of course, Benjamin immediately began devising and testing out his potential escape routes.


This is the nice, big kitchen that Julie had been waiting for. Needless to say, she made it her own very quickly. And what a great job she did!

The window sill areas in the kitchen are great. They have ledges you can sit on, and they face the yard, so you can enjoy the beautiful views!


On to the cozy bathroom/laundry room/utility room. Everything is tile, so it is flood-proof up to about 4-5 ft tall. Julie has confessed the bathtub as the "most amazing bathtub ever." It is has a very comfortable recline in the back and is contoured to fit the shoulder & neck area.


And, best of all, there is no "squatty potty" -- only a western-style toilet. For those who don't know what a "squatty" is, we'll have to post some pics some time.


This is our living room/sitting room/Benjamin's playroom. The big pillows are toshaks. They are great for taking naps and for cozying up to read or watch a movie. And, Benjamin thinks they are great for running and falling on.


And, more windows with beautiful views...


And last, but certainly not least, the bedroom. It is dark & cozy...great for sleeping. The entire mattress (no box spring) is about 4 inches thick, but is one of the more comfortable beds we've ever slept on!


For those who noticed the pack-n-play...yes, we are sharing a bedroom with Benjamin again. Feel free to pr for us! :-)

We are very blessed to have this home for a time. There is a chance we will only be in this house for 6 months, so we're looking forward to making some memories while we can.
Please pr for us regarding this place, not the building, but the home. Ask that it would be a home of love, peace, and truth. Ask that all those who enter it would find themselves in a place where the Father is present. Ask for its protection -- ask Psalm 127 over it.
Blessings to you all. Thank you very much for reading. We'll be back soon...
