I have all of the windows open. Yep, all of them. Well, except for the one in Caleb's room and that's because he's sleeping. When I laid him down for his nap, I went outside to check yesterday's mail. Yeah, *yesterday's*. For some reason, I can never remember to check it at 4 or 5 or whenever it actually has freshly arrived. So, I check it the day after. Anyway, I was floored by the goodness of God to have provided such marvelous weather! What a display of his awesomeness, amen? I mean, even hot and sticky weather sings praises to its maker, but it's just so nice of God to surprise this Florida girl with some good fall-ish weather today.
To my surprise, there was a package in the mailbox addressed to my little man from his Great Sue and Great Grandmama. It is the two cutest long underwear shirts from Old Navy. One is red and the other is camo-ish. (I should post a picture, but I don't really feel like getting up to get my camera to photograph them. Perhaps I will later.) I can't wait to show him the shirts! But I will wait because he's sleeping...
Caleb has recently re-adjusted his nap schedule. He basically takes two long naps a day now, which is neat. He's been sleeping since about 10 AM and it's 1:40 PM right now. Sleep, buddy, sleep! :) I actually am ready to wake him up because it's been hours since I have gotten to play with him and I really enjoy that. I want to take him outside so that he can really experience this first "fall" day of October. I know that there was a great dayof fall weather a couple of weeks ago ,but it pales in comparison to this one so I am not even going to label it as being a fall day. It was merely a fall preview.
I can't wait to move in to the new house! Seriously, the other night, I couldn't sleep because I was so excited. I kept thinking about which cabinet I wanted to put the glasses in and what colors I wanted to use in the dining area. Total nerd, I know. Today the guys at Gene's Floor Covering (go there, people! They are wonderful!) are installing the carpet today. When the little man wakes up, we may go visit the new house to see it. :)
I am living between two worlds, it seems. I have most of my kitchen stuff over there at the new house, already unpacked (so my wondering about the positioning of the glasses the other night was actually me rethinking where I had already placed them...which is nerdy). I already have freshly washed towels in the bathroom cabinets. I still have things here at the rental, but it just isn't home now that I have a new home. I started thinking of the parallels to the reality of this idea of living between two worlds and its truths when it comes to the gospel (and it always comes to the gospel...because I can't compartmentalize the gospel). I have been ransomed, but I am still here, not yet fully united with my Maker.
I long for the day.... Maranatha!

Me too, Jess. And yes! What a lovely day. When the girls wake up we're spending the rest of it outside! :)
