Our plan for the labor and delivery of David and Kayla’s precious River Salem was for Addie Mae to take care of Clyde and little Miss E – whom we call “the babies.”

Addie is now staying with David and Kayla indefinitely to help out there!

The first few mornings once Kayla was back home from the birth center, Addie brought the babies to the farm to spend the day here!

It was SUCH A JOY to have them here, as always!

I have a soft spot for them both, but especially that little miss!

She may have that figured out too, and tries to use it to her advantage!

I just savored the time we got to spend with them – it is just so super special!

The gnats are SO bad here right now, but we sprayed vanilla all over our heads and played outside anyway!

Sweet babies – your NaiNai loves you SO much!!!

SO – about that moving news!

We do not have a house to buy and we have to be off the farm mid to late July (do not have a definite date just yet), so we are out of time to purchase a home at this point anyway.

We have seriously looked into building a small, modest 1500 square foot home – and may still do that, but felt like we needed to step back and “take a breath.”

We have been approved for and have put a deposit down on a duplex to rent with a three month lease.

Want to know THE BEST PART?

It is right across the street from our grandbabies!!!!!!

Oh, and their parents too, of course!

Rentals are VERY hard to come by right now – and one across the street from our favorite people, with a three month lease, that will hold nine people and most of their stuff???

I would say that is the Lord smiling down on us.

Thank you, Jesus.

It is going to be VERY hard to drive away from this farm.

It makes my stomach throb to even think about it.

But the fact that we will be next door to our people?

It is keeping our smiles BRIGHT, for sure!!

We get possession of that duplex on June 30th, just a mere three weeks away.

I better get this place packed up – wouldn’t you say?!

If you would be willing to pray for us over this next month, we would be ever so grateful!!
