Random Photos from the week

In between the business of cast care & spending time with special friends this week & packing, we've managed to find some moments to relax.

It's interesting but since I'm hardly running any errands (too much trouble with Ellie in spica), I find that I am spending more time somedays (when others are here to do other stuff and therefore free me up for a few minutes) just being with my children.

(It helps that so many - my mom, our church friends, my mother in law) have helped with kids, chores, & packing.)

We're escaping boxes with lots of walks.

I found an old cell phone while packing the other day.  Will is now using it as his pretend phone.  His pretend conversations crack me up.

A walk one chilly evening.

The Ergo baby carrier & wagon are our new best friends.

My friend, Maria, is Greek & is a fabulous cook - especially of my favorite foods - Mediterranean 

The other night, she made us dinner & made a super yummy flaming Greek cheese dessert.

It was so good that she came over again last night to do it for us.

I think that olives & flaming cheese might be my new love language.

This photo makes me deliriously happy:

zanco legs, underwear, & a cape on my floor

Why so Happy?

something about a boy in his cape just make me smile...

& the fact that the boy has finally learned how to take off his own clothes to go to the bathroom & then can put them back on - 

DELIGHT!

Women from church have been stopping by all week to "vacuum" Ellie in her spica
