Playing House

I lift up my eyes to the hills--where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 
He will not let your foot slip--he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 
The LORD watches over you--the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 
The LORD will keep you from all harm--he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121
From Laurel to Baltimore :)
We made it to our new house! :) First, our kids finished up their last two weeks of school here. Uniquely, Alice participated in two class promotions from the 5th grade. The first one was from Lansdown Elementary with her new class. The following day (with the principals permission) was from Brock Bridge with the class she knew since kindergarten. This is where the bus stops for all our kids! I took this from our front porch :) (Hannah's and Lera's bus)
We were stacked up to the ceiling in boxes. This made lots of fun for our cats! Symone was on top of them :)
This is Hannah's and Lera's new room :)
This is our master bedroom :)
It's like I'm a little girl playing house. I'm loving life, and every moment is a treasure! I can't believe I'm here to stay! It feels like we're on vacation! Or I'm dreaming! I didn't do anything to deserve this...God held us up through the storm. We are here because of Him! No more trying to keep water out of our basement! The only water we see now is in our backyard! :) 
Jim keeps busy learning to keep it clean :). He was out vacuuming it before he went to work this morning! Better that than a wet basement lol!  ~ just LOVE our new house! :) 

There's also a trampoline in our backyard for our kids to jump on...and down the street the kids like to play basketball with their new friends. :))
:) Today I'm unpacking a box of crystal my mom (and dad) gave me. She carefully wrapped it in newspaper and put in a box with my name on it :)
It was from when they got married and she wanted me to have it! I never opened it before because we didn't have room before we moved. But now we have ROOM! It's like uncovering a beautiful treasure out of the wreckage we left behind from our flooded basement. THANK YOU LORD! :D
