A Yard of Our Own

We are really enjoying our new home. I miss my friends from Virginia, a lot but I don't really miss our house or lack of yard. We truly feel at home here already. We are still in the process of getting settled but it didn't take long for our new house to feel like our home. It is clear that God wanted us here and even though we are not as settled as we would like to be we are very comfortable here. One thing that we are really enjoying is our yard. The girls love going outside and running around. Karis especially is our little outdoor girl. If we say the word "outside" she starts motioning us to the door and trying to get us to open it. She even brings her shoes to me sometimes which I know means " take me outside mom!". They both love running around and playing. It really is nice to be able to have a safe place for them to run around and play. One night Josh and Raegan went outside to try to get Kona to run around ( we are still trying to get Kona used to being outside) and Karis already had her PJ's on but she started banging on the door because she wanted to go outside. She was so convincing that I put shoes over her PJ's and took her outside. We have had a lot of fun. Raegan wants to go "camping" outside because in one of her Franklin books he goes camping in his yard and has hotdogs and marshmelows over the fire. Raegan has it all planned out so we'll see if we get brave enough to try that out!
