the Years are Short: July 2011

Moving to Texas is a bittersweet transition because this chapter really has been such a special time for us. When we first came back from Israel Kylie was only 3 months old. We settled into the Dorr family cabin for a year before we bought this little old house on Boone St. With a lot of elbow grease we fixed it up just in time for Avery to be born in the kitchen! Since then we have enjoyed countless family dinners and play dates with cousins, long summer evenings and a whole lot of love. There is a lot to look forward to, but there is also a lot to smile back upon. Our last three years in Kentucky have truly been a blessing. We are grateful.

We've spent this final week in Kentucky enjoying family, friends, and the uniqueness of Berea. Amidst all the packing the girls have been pretty restless. We've made forts out of packing boxes, gone for long walks, and visited most of the local eateries. To top it off, in her finest moment of mischief Kylie got a hold of some scissors and cut off all of Avery's beautiful baby curls. Yes, it's been a memorable week!
