I Should Feel Old

My first nephew turned 13 today!! Yikes, where has time flown? He was just a little dimple chinned baby at the hospital! Now he's almost 5'6" and a real teenager. Jessica turned 11 yesterday. When she got leukemia at 18 months, we really didn't know what her future would hold. Would she live? Would she have enough growth hormones to grow normally? Praise the Lord, she's perfectly hale and hearty, is the right height, and everything is growing as it should in this young lady's body! She acts a bit blonde sometimes, but she's a loving and joyful little ray of sunshine.

The house is a bit of maze of boxes at the moment. My books alone took a ton of boxes. Pictures have been coming down and everything feels generally unsettled. A lot is happening in the new house this week, sparking extra hope that it will be ready for our move next week. That's what we're praying for anyway!
