As of this past Monday, this is the new home of the Cameron Easley fam. We're very excited about this move, for a few reasons. One, we're moving to Morton which is closer to friends and church and not any further from the fam (actually closer to the Kennelly's and IWU :). But also because of the situation that God worked out. We were really looking for a house to rent while we tried to save up for a down payment whenever we are able to buy one, and we knew we were really wanting Morton. But as time went on it was looking more and more like we couldn't afford to rent a house in Morton. But the Lord does provide. Not only did we find a house we could afford, but we also found a house that we were going to be able to do a little fixin' up. The Village of Morton actually owns the house and were very open to our desire to do a little work to the house. Since then we have found the work to be more then we anticipated, but it will all be worth it when it's done. The house is in a great location, with both a coffee shop right across the street and the library less then a block away.
Anywho, thanks to all who have helped so far...we couldn't have done it without you. When we're all done fixing things up we'll put the before and after pics up....and boy you will want to see them!!!
Nevermind that I did find that perfect place for my new bench I got for Christmas. No matter how many times a day I set it at its post under the coat rack, Caroline finds a way to get it back as close to the tree as she can so she can gaze at her reflection in the silver balls or out the window. Think it might have a new perfect place...at least for this month.
Woke up to Caroline talking softly in her crib, not the alarm today. Got some coffee from Eli's (Caroline just got a few sugar packets) and sat on the front porch for awhile. The only place that doesn't cry out for demolition or restoration of some degree. We put in a good 5 hrs of work and then headed to the apple orchard, hoping it would all be done when we got home. Here's to many more cups of coffee, mornings on the porch, and hrs spent making this place ours.
Well Caroline had her first hair cut yesterday. We're still working on getting a more up to date pic of her..showing the new do. It does make her look older...something that can stop happening anytime now. She did really well though. She scared us for a bit at the beginning since she was running around like crazy as we were waiting. But once she got into the seat she calmed right down. Anywho...we'll try to get better pics up soon. Until then...enjoy!!!
