Chaos

We moved into our house last week with it being quite a "work in progress." This is how we lived for the first 5 days. We couldn't move anything into the upstairs because we were still refinishing the wood floors and needed the polyurathane to dry. I took this picture of the kids reading their books, as if it was any normal day. They've been such little troopers as we've had this crazy time. And, moving into the dining room . . . Jeff and I slept here while the kids slept on the couches. The kids pretty much had to fend for themselves this week. This was how Emma dressed herself one day. Our good friend Jen came to help us with the hardwoods. Thanks so much Jen! And, Clay got to help paint his room a bit. The lights in the kids' rooms were a bright gold, so I just bought a can of cheap spray paint and washed them in brown. I like it so much better. While I was at it, I painted some old black picture frames brown to go in the living room. Next week I hope to post pictures of some finished rooms! We feel so thankful and blessed to have this home. The kids keep saying as they pray at night, "Thank you God, for this great house!" It almost feels too good to be true to have a home again.
