Demolition has started!

We officially closed on the new house Wednesday August 3rd, 2011...Jason had to go back on midnight Friday night so we didn't really do anything to the house until yesterday...My dad came over and helped Jason completely gut the kitchen, today he is tearing up the floors. Jason's mom came last night with us and helped me with the kids so I could get started the bedrooms...really all that needs to be done in the rooms is some minor wall repair and paint, but with a breastfeeding 3 month old things go a lot slower for me...I can't wait to see the transformation this house is going to take into being our HOME!

5 years ago today

5 years ago today my father-in-law went to be with the Lord
5 years ago today Ariana was 5 weeks old screaming at the top of her lungs (they say babies can sense how their parents feel, and we all felt a deep sorrow that day)
5 years ago today...

So much happens in 5 years...and I believe that he would be extremely proud of his children and his grand-children!

Today we are celebrating all the Campbell cousin's birthdays: 5 years ago there were only 3 of them, Today there are 7!!! Wouldn't he just love them?! I know that I would love for him to see them all together...

Today we are closing on our first house...I know that Jason would love to have his dad here to answer his question and give his advice and input on things. He would be happy to know we have 10 acres of land, even a little woods to hunt on...

Today, instead of grieving, I would hope we can celebrate the day my Father-in-law, without a doubt, went home to be with our Lord and Savoir...and that one day in the not-to-distant future we will meet up with him there...Oh, what a day that will be! I am thankful that he directed his life after the Lord and gave the option for my children to one day meet him...

Today we can Celebrate!
