We may complain about how much more work this house needed than we expected and even wondered if this was the right decision. I'm pretty sure God led us to this house in this neighborhood for a reason. Yesterday, Neighbor Sean (who hates yard work, who wishes he had green concrete as his yard) mowed our yard and bagged up all the leaves. And he did it happily, just glad he could help. His wife Samantha volunteered to come over on Thursday evening so I can go to choir practice. Again, happy to do it. Today, Neighbor Tricia happily volunteered to watch Jenna while I voted not knowing how many hours it would take. God has always provided for us and that includes giving us wonderful neighbors and other people who enrich our lives.

We went to the park yesterday...
