We packed up our apartment in Rome and moved.
Claire was Micky Mouse for Halloween.
This is her good friend Kai. We miss him and all of our friends in Rome.
Oh, and Claire turned three!
Here she is on her three year old eve, watching a movie with Daddy and Averi Kate.
Licking the cake batter...
Opening presents...
Pumpkin spice birthday cake! (egg and dairy free, of course. It actually turned out pretty good!)
Averi Kate enjoyed all the festivities.
Claire reading a book in her bean bag...
Not much else is going on. Oh, except that we had a contract to buy a house and finally, through much prayer and petition and seeking and asking, decided to withdraw our offer.
Things have been...overwhelming? Yes, that is the right word. I am ready to feel settled again. I think we all are. BUT "settled" is not where the Lord has us right now. At least not in our circumstances...but I pray that, like Paul, we will learn the secret to being content in any circumstances: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." We have so much to be thankful for, so we will choose to focus on those things and pray that the Lord will teach us and guide us and grow us through all of these changes.
