You look good with three kiddos underfoot, Holly. You wear it well! And I LOVE my van; can totally relate there. I look forward to hearing what's next. You've face everything with faith as your armor. I know you're going to move through this okay, too. XXOO, RoxaneRoxane B.

Now that you have a van, come on over anytime! (I'd visit you, too, happily! My kiddos and I would make the place feel like a castle after we left, like the tale of the farmer in the small house!)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946246945526434754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060593037912557290.post-1344282486943972902011-06-14T11:52:14.535-07:002011-06-14T11:52:14.535-07:00Oh and one more thing: love the pic of Anna in the...Oh and one more thing: love the pic of Anna in the carwash! We all drove through a carwash yesterday and Sammy was literally shaking/trembling, with a look of horror on his face, but afterward kept repeating, FUN! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060593037912557290.post-49469348859777206682011-06-14T10:49:03.409-07:002011-06-14T10:49:03.409-07:00Holly, thanks for posting this!

I really needed that reminder! Sending continued prayers for you guys as you navigate this next phase in your life as a family!! Also loved the "under construction" analogy - reminds me kinda of a sign my mom embroidered for my room that I loved, it said "please be patient, God isn't finished with me yet" :) He's always working on all of us!Lagartijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493523908121894209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060593037912557290.post-74809580478255227732011-06-14T08:08:57.724-07:002011-06-14T08:08:57.724-07:00I used to be terrified of carwashes, so when my mo...I used to be terrified of carwashes, so when my mom went through them and my friend and I were in the backseat (my mom babysat for my friend on a daily basis), us girls would release all of our nervous energy by howling and giggling and screaming with excitement the whole time. It was as good as being on a roller coaster for us. I only wonder how my mom ever survived without getting deaf ears. I guess she found it was a cheap sort of entertainment.Christinahttp://asIwentwalking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060593037912557290.post-27814756476881343982011-06-13T16:35:37.240-07:002011-06-13T16:35:37.240-07:00Awwww...such sweet pics of your beautiful family!!...Awwww...such sweet pics of your beautiful family!!

Remember to enjoy the journey too. Some of the great lessons we learn about each other we learn making wrong turns. Lots of wrong turns we understand, but we too are learning. Sometimes it takes a two-by-four, but hey, we get it eventually! :)<br /><br />Love the new van! You look so relieved and so much less house-bound! And isn't it nice to be debt-free????Amberly Boerschingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357014477438884063noreply@blogger.com
