Many changes have occurred this summer, and yet none of them were changes that I anticipated. We have taken a break on the improvements upon the house (just burned out). Kevin lost his job and got a new one, thus our entire schedule at home has changed. Things seem much busier (if that is possible). We did change churches and, though there are good things about that decision, there are sad things that went along with the change. We have hardly seen any of our Clarks Green friends since changing churches, and though this is understandable (we are not in their lives and visiting every Sunday and Wednesday or involved in the same church activities) it's still a bit sad. Though with that move God has been moving in our lives, and we have been growing to know Him on a much deeper level. Many tests of faith have come in to play this summer which has been a bit of a struggle, but God is a constant support. I started a new blog. Kevin has started teaching a bible study.
Some things remain constant. The girls have continued to grow. Becca's speech is improving, and her vocabulary is growing. Hannah is slowly learning to read, and has really taken to heart the responsibility of being a big sister. Money is still a constant frustration. The bathroom scale still reads about the same. The house for sale sign is still tucked behind the corner cabinet.
Good and bad...that about sums it up...that's life. Summer is mostly over, which I absolutely hate that thought, but it's been a summer of growth and learning.
