Some highlights of the past months:
*We are experiencing withdrawals from our home in Texas
*Due to chronic ear infections, Beckham got tubes in his ears.
*We built our first snowman (complete with potato head pieces)
*We have missed our friends
*I have learned the joys of Uggs
*Aaron has gotten back into running
*Loving being closer to Linda
*Sophia changes clothes 5 times a day and at least two of those changes consist of "ballerina" clothes
*Beckham has begun speech therapy
*We miss our family
*I have started laser hair removal
*Beckham has become COMPLETELY obsessed with basketball
*I have learned that five months in a furnished home is too long
*We have enjoyed going to the Gateway museum, the zoo, Thanksgiving point, Trafalga and am stoked for a season of water parks.
*We love being closer to family
*Beckham jumps off of anything and everything
*We read "how does a dinosaur go to school" 10 times a day
*I learned that Smiths is the same as Kroger
*Date night has seized to exist
*Therapeutic shopping has increased ;)
*Love being closer to a Naartjie store
I wish I could say that five months later we are settled and adjusted. However neither is true. We have a contract on our house in Texas!!! Hopefully the sale will happen and we will be moved into a permanent place, with our own belongings soon. The kids have adjusted great. Sophia asks about her friends often but is satisfied with my explanation of the distance. My heart often aches for the friendships and family relationships I left. I am optimistic that with a more permanent housing situation will bring an increase in my desire to find new friends.
I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!
