The New House is Taking Shape

Yesterday, Glee and John arrived at the park.  These two hard-working people have been helping Marylou and Jack for several years and they arrived ready to work.  So today the six of us went to Mexico.  What a difference a week makes.  Everything is now at the new house and Dalia is back from her vacation.   Today the fellows put up some shelves and hooked up the washing machine while we gals moved some boxes and did a little organizing.  It is a joy to work when the sounds of children playing is your background music.

 Play mimics work,
 each child keeps an eye on the adults,
 and the older make sure the younger behave.
 Jack enjoyed the two female racers - the cement play yard is great for races, but hard when there are accidents.
 John puts up a bracket in the kitchen,
a youngster enjoys playing with a door handle,
 and Glee peeks from behind the laundry room door where she and Marylou were busy sorting and stacking.
 Always a smile!
 Always a watchful eye!
 Always stories to tell!
 The house is being transformed into a home.
 The welcome sign is hung and the hooks hold the jackets and backpacks.
 There is even a new puppy over in the corner.

Praise Him!  A big and, soon to be beautiful, new home is emerging.


P.S.
I'm human and I make many mistakes.  Just one of them involves the van.  In the last post I talked about needing a new (used) van.  Well, since I am spoiled and not used to riding in vehicles like the big white 23 year old one, I had assumed that is what needed replacing.  I WAS WRONG.  The need is for a van for Dalia to use in Mexico and that makes much sense.  Right now, she does not have a vehicle and one is definitely needed to take children to school, for errands and oh so many reasons.  Van still needed!

Till next time, listen when God whispers and responds when He nudges.
