We still have a LONG way to go in regards to unpacking because we plan to build a shop. The garage is full, but our living areas are unpacked and comfortable. I still need to decide where I want to hang pictures, put decorative items, etc., but it feels like home.
My mom was here for a couple of days to help us get the basic stuff unpacked and she worked HARD! Here is a before and after of the kitchen while she was here:
BEFORE
AFTER
We had a Baby Guard pool gate put up around the pool, which has been wonderful for our peace of mind. Gregg was even invited to go hunting with the guy who installed it! It seems Gregg is receiving hunting invites from everyone he meets around here...another answer to prayer!
We knew God was preparing the way for us and He keeps revealing that through little blessings. It turns out Gregg knew our next door neighbors from working for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) years ago.
I have not met any buddies yet, but I hear there is a stay-at-home mom in our neighborhood who used to be a teacher as well. I'm looking forward to meeting her.
I did get to spend several days with Stacey, Gregg's sister. The time with her was priceless. Zeke cried this morning when he realized she was leaving. Needless to say, we're already trying to plan her next trip here. We hope Gary will get to come next time (he had to work).
She helped so much with the kids and house stuff. Here are a few pictures of the vinyl wall art we put up together...

(Ignore Zeke's messy bed!)
I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of Stacey with both kids or with Gregg. I did manage to get one of her and Zeke that turned out really cute...
I will close with a few pictures of Zeke lining things up and sorting. He is doing a lot of that these days, which warms my organizational heart!
Oh, and here is one of Adalynn chewing on her wooden keys this morning:
