Inspection

Nothing like a last minute termite inspection to make you want to clean out your closets! I hurried around trying to hide clutter, shoes, dish towels, and everything else Lilly scatters throughout the house into closets and pantries. That was silly because the termite guy looked in every nook and cranny of the house...with a flashlight! I'm sure he gasped in horror when he opened the door to our guest bedroom closet and saw the 6 foot stack of stuff about to avalanche down on his head. *cringe*

It reminds me how we try to show our best side for others, but God sees our hearts and all the clutter and junk we're hiding. I can make myself look pretty good on the outside, but it's what's inside that matters. So it might be messy but I'm earnestly praying Psalm 139:23-24

²³ Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
²⁴ See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Lilly tried to sneak into Matt's bag for his trip to Seattle. Matt had a great time enjoying the rainy weather and beauty of the area.

Hummus. Yummus.

There are just no words...I love this girl!

Puppets with GG.

Vroom, Baby!

Caught her wet-handed!

Airplane!

First snow day of the year.

I love my family!

Gotta give a shout-out to Matt's Dad for making it through one of the toughest weeks ever! Cancer diagnosis, surgery, and recovery makes for a pretty crummy week. Matt kept me updated every time he got a phone call. My favorite thing to hear was when the nurses commented on how he was so relaxed and peaceful, Matt's Dad said something to the effect of, "well, it helps when you know where you're going."

We're so thankful that everything turned out ok!!
