a random mix of faith, family, and the many things that fill my mind
This week, we sold a house. Though we moved to our new house several months ago, we finally closed on the sale of our old one this past Monday. Here is my husband and our boys in front of the old house on Sunday. See my other post for a slightly more emotional exploration of this transition.

L.(5) is a bit of a puzzler. He gets a magazine from Highlights called Puzzle Buzz and is always so very excited when the newest issue arrives. He particularly loves the hidden picture puzzles, and will often curl up next to me on the couch so we can do them together. But just as often, I’ll find him hidden away somewhere in the house, carefully studying the pages and solving the puzzles. With a mom (and a grandmother or two) who are also big fans of puzzles, I guess it’s to be expected.
I love coming across these quiet moments of concentration.

…because sometimes, all the Lego men and women have to embark on dangerous missions that involve balancing on a steel beam, far above the earth. I’m not sure what they have to do there, but I’m sure it’s very important.
Non-wordless note: Yesterday was a rainy day, so I brought out some marble contraption-building sets that I had bought months ago to save for just such a day. L.(5) spent a huge portion of yesterday playing with the freeform-type set on our magnetic front door. C.(12) and I built the complicated machinery-type set. Both are proving to be tremendous fun, especially for L. I have a feeling I’ll be finding marbles under random pieces of furniture for a long time to come.

Guess who turns five today?
Happy Birthday to my sweet L.!
“Four” has been a wonderful year, full of milestones and learning and laughter and fun.
I can’t wait to see what “Five” brings us.
I love you, L.!
