Open House, Open Heart...

I'm having one of those days that if you asked me where I was from I'd talk about Minnesota like its the best place on earth. I'd tell you about the beautiful snow, the delicious food, my friends, my family. All the glorious things, ya know? Today I am homesick. I've noticed that when I'm homesick in my head.. there is absolutely no place like home. Which is true, in some ways. Minnesota is really one of a kind,  but I know deep down that although I miss it at times there is one truth I always try and hold on to no matter where I am. Its something that God spoke to me nearly 4 years ago when I was in Argentina. God reminded me that home is not a physical place on earth, it is in his hands . And until I go to heaven I depend on that as my truth, that no matter where I am, I am home because I am in his hands. So as much as I would love to be with my Sister(in-laws) watching the kids play and drinking lemonade, or heading to grandma and grandpas house to enjoy...

Please excuse my absence. This month went way too fast. I partially blame it on my teething 9 month old who keeps me busy. He not only keeps me busy but also blesses me with joy. a fun Video of Axel Cracking up :)   I'm going to try and do a quick recap of the month. If I go too into detail this will be the longest post I've ever posted. So we will keep things simple. I had a blessed and beautiful Mothers Day. Caleb treated me to a DELICIOUS breakfast. brussel sprouts are my favorite! bacon is a luxury here! Kind of spendy! Gluten free donuts! :) Apples and sparkling juice. I also got 2 sweet gifts, my favorite chocolates and a succulent. I have ALWAYS wanted one like this! We spent alot of the day figuring out what was wrong with Axel. around 11 he started what was a 4 day stretch of a 101 to 102 fever. Snuggles with Dad and his Lamb/Cat since he wasnt feeling well. And so the teething began. With his fever we decided to cancel our plans...
