Fall in Michigan is one of my favorite things but it has been so rainy this year! On dry occasions we have been enjoying the changing colors. We have woods right in our backyard now so it's been nice to get out and enjoy the cooler temps and the beautiful scenery. The kids (& sometimes Mom) always seem to come home with our hands or pockets laden with treasures (leaves, stones, sticks, acorn tops....).

Since I am homeschooling now it's nice that we can take advantage of the days that are nice. We can get outside on a "fieldtrip" and go to the park or nature reserve & walk trails. I can also dictate when recess begins & ends depending on how much of a break I need;)
I would say that we are ajusting some to the move we have made. I still have no idea when or where we will buy a house and honestly I am in no hurry. Have I mentioned how much I dislike moving? It really is a pain.Maybe in the spring I will get the itch, Trevor has already started looking (he cannot help himself).

I miss all my friends & our old Pointe Group, but we have joined a small group here and I am trying to be excited about it. I need community. I am praying the Lord will continue to help me on the journey and I know He will. It's hard to be patient sometimes and wait to see what He is going to do. I have a feeling that there are a lot of new "adventures" in store for us but right now we're just waiting. It's not all bad. Before, I based what I did each day on what I wanted; who I wanted to see & what I wanted to do. Now, life is definetely more centered on the kids. We stay home a lot more now (obviously). When we do get out it's to the library or to do something "school" related. I am finding that I can appreciate the little things more now that I am not busying myself so much. Sometimes I get a bit stir crazy though!
