Summer is here and we've started our summer learning routines at home. Nothing too big, but enough semblance of structure to help us prevent becoming lazy couch-potatoes, I hope!
On the housing front, after much prayer, stress, and talking over everything a million times, we found peace in signing the contract for purchasing the new construction home. Even though it could be a very scary prospect, that deep unseated peace persists. It's a peace that only God can give because not much changed within our circumstances or the pros and cons, only our perspective has changed. It's been my goal to spend daily time with God and purpose to submit to His leading vs. my own inclinations...something that is easier said than done, but well worth the commitment!
We've sent in our down payment and made appointments to visit the design center, etc. I'm not sure exactly when they will break ground, but we plan to visit the site every couple weeks to see the progress being made. Tentatively, our home will be ready around the holidays.
We'll start our school year in this home, take a break to sell, take a break to move, and then pick up our school work in the new house. It will be a challenge, but we can be flexible and adapt as needed.
We're also moving forward with potty training. I hadn't done much just in case we moved this summer. Moving is almost a guaranteed regression in potty training and I didn't want to start just to have to start over again. But, now that we have several months, and our little guy is showing signs of readiness, we are moving forward.
