Because of all our transitions this summer, I decided to take a break from the blog, etsy, etc.

Now the kids and myself have moved back to Newton.  Damian will join us soon after he wraps up his school requirements.  He is bringing the majority of our household.  Living without things like dressers for clothing or a comfortable chair to sit in has its challenges.

School has started in Kansas.  Clara began 4th grade and Oliver began kindergarten.  Clara soon discovered old and new friends.  It's yet to be determined if Isabel will go to pre-school.

Thanks to a generous father who has rentals, we have a place to live.  It is close enough to ride bikes to school and church and the grocery store.  A large backyard and clothesline are added bonuses.
