Spending Saturday afternoon with her and her willingness to babysit Brooksie for a while. He was well loved by her and all her roomies. (I love that we get to share life in California with her!)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Week 2 of preschool! It turns out Fridays are Science days, which is the greatest news my kid has heard in a long time. Last Friday he learned why the sky is blue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Snuggling this morning with Brooksie on the couch and talking with Chris about what it means to be \u201cat home\u201d when you\u2019re a kid. And the gift of making a \u201chome\u201d for your kids\u2026which is a much deeper idea than a mere physical space.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Speaking of making a home, we move this Thursday. Living for the past eight weeks without a \u201creal\u201d home has been harder on me than the rest of my family, I think. I have felt out of sorts in every part of my life: writing, organization, prayer. I\u2019m so grateful get to settle in to this new life in San Francisco. I\u2019m not expecting everything to suddenly feel perfect, but I\u2019m grateful for the security of home and that God gives us things in our lives that are consistent. I\u2019m longing for something consistent.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Time to pray this morning, even though my prayer was about as scattered and messy as my life feels right now. I\u2019m thankful God is not scattered and messy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">A double jogging stroller I found on craigslist this weekend! Can I tell you how excited I am to run to August\u2019s school from our new house? Being able to run without it having to be 6 in the morning? That is a good gift.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">The church Harvest Festival this past weekend and how funny it is when people see us and say, \u201cWait! Didn\u2019t you guys move?\u201d Yeah, we moved\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">The hope of new things.
