Crafty

With a new baby coming, there is no end to the crafting. For me, that usually translates to knitting, but this week Ruby helped me pick out a few fabrics and supplies to make some useful baby things. On our plate we have 1 wetbag (waterproof bag for cloth diapers), 2 bassinet sheets, and a few burpcloths. This morning we got them cut out. Hopefully tonight I will sew, if not later this week. Tomorrow is our 36wk midwife appointment so we're heading to Kansas City :)

And then we sorted through the newborn clothes and set to washing, organizing, lanolizing woolies, and squishing tiny baby things. 

I realized I have a bit of a wooly obsession with knitting little hats. There are a few in there that have been knitted by friends and family :)

More adventures

Well, I took a break.
Our family had a rough winter, but we weathered it. Then on to a topsy-turvy spring. Now we're heading into summer. Summer will bring a new baby to us, such excitement.

During our break, we've been busy. We now live in Missouri. We've been here 3 weeks now. Missing our friends and life terribley. As many times as I have started over, it really never gets easier. I know the drill better each time, but the speed bumps are still there. Helping the kids maneuver their own parts of this journey have really been surprisingly smooth. I have such amazing kids. They are resilient, loving, and have bounced right along with us.

Leaving friends, familiar places and the city I wanted to grow kids in has been alot. Alot of emotions, thoughts, and words come up, but none really seem to nail how I feel.
We are thankful for a soft place to land and know God has a plan for our family here. But pulling up roots always sets a tree back a bit in it's growing. But strength lies in desire to survive and we have that.
