My mom is here for a visit! She is such a brave soul. We had hoped to be farther along in the process when her and my dad got tickets to spend the holidays with us this year. The plan was that we'd be all done with the middle floor renovation and the guest room. She would come and spend thanksgiving with us and then we would decorate and organize and get ready for Christmas. Dad would arrive Dec 16 and we'd have that Christmas that we've been dreaming of, being together with the lights down low, the tree decorated, the children playing quietly with Christmas music in the background.
Instead, she's sharing a room with the girls and we're cheering the progress the workers are making every day, just praying that we will open presents in the living room and in this shot she's cleaning the boxes out of the guest room to help us get it ready....maybe when Dad arrives they'll sleep in there? Stay tuned for more exciting adventures with The Patty family!

It surprises me every time that God's picture of our life is so different than ours. I'm so grateful that your family can be a reminder of that to me every time. and you know what- it's God's love among you that made your house already beautiful=). Praying for you!
Cool!! So fun to have grandparents around for the holidays! :) I love your blog posts. Theyre so happy and cheerful... just like you! <3
