Back to life, back to reality...soon!

We got a little lost finding a new church to try out... but we made it there just in time.  The church was quite nice but we all (even the children) agreed that the first church we went to (on Easter Sunday) fit our family better.  We are going to try one more church next Sunday and then hopefully settle in! On the way home, we found a garage sale.  The kids got a few toys and I found a great spring jacket for JJ for next year.  A nice little surprise- our old town never had garage sales on Sundays.  

The chicks are still doing great.  They still get quite startled when J changes their water dish or refills their food. There is definitely no science behind this but it seems like the meat bird flock seems to sleep more than the egg laying hens.  

Our youngest took a nice nap on the couch during a rain/thunderstorm while J and JJ found morals in the woods. We are having them for dinner.

Today is kind of a sad day.  We have to return to reality tomorrow.  This week, J and I go back to work (with me starting a new job.)  JJ and Pickle are heading to a new school! I hope it all goes well.  I wish this little hiatus could last a bit longer...but, we are all creatures of habit and figuring out our new routine will surely decrease some of the anxiety that has been brewing within us all.  I'm praying for easy transitions, no tears for the children when I drop them off tomorrow, a smooth return for J and that I will find at least one friend at my new job.
