Settling In

More and more, as the days combine to make weeks, and we have almost been here a month I am finding that this feels like home. We expect our old house to close today and in some ways it is bittersweet. That is the home we brought Baby home to, where we settled her into this world and nursed her through meningitis, hip dysplasia, a cyst removal from her mouth and the variety of childhood illnesses. It is where Miss Pear really came into her own and was nursed after heart surgery and she grew in her roll as big sister. On the other hand it is wonderful to be out of that part of Southern CA were we never really seemed to belong even though we had a great church and friends.

But it is nice to know that the house is closing, it almost makes it easier to really launch our new lives here.

There are still boxes to unpack and things to do, but I find my mind racing ahead to planning projects and getting organized. To settling in here and restocking the pantry and other supplies that were run down.

And it is a great feeling.
