Well, it was a rough and bumpy road, but we have been in the house for almost 3 weeks and it's really starting to feel like a home. The kids are so amazingly happy, it just goes to show that children are
resilient and everything we have put them through this last 6 months has totally been worth it! We are so happy to have the animals back at home (thanks to mom and dad for keeping them for what seemed like forever!) and pictures are starting to slowly get hung up on the walls. I finally found all of the family pictures tonight and got to hang up quite a few of them. Sure does make it homey! We were also so excited to find a bunch of plants on sale for the fall season and scooped up a lot of them and already have everything planted in the front yard! We won't have grass until next spring, but I sure do love seeing something green in the yard! You really can't tell too much, because they are pretty small, but they really are there! The kids had a great time "helping" and Bentley is happy to have some bushes to mark his
territory!
A couple more weeks and the Bennett B&B will be open and ready for family to come and stay! The kids will have to take all their forts down, downstairs for the family, but they'll be happy to have some company!
Hope everything is going well for everyone and we can't thank you enough for all of the prayers and good thoughts through the last 6 months. Thanks for holding us strong and for listening to us wine and complain, and again a super huge THANK YOU to mom, dad and grandma for watching the dogs this summer. I know they had fun, but they are certainly happy to be back with their family! Love to you all!
