Gratitude Sunday

Sundays heart felt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful.

Here are some things I am grateful for this week:

Our little theater for making it possible for me to have fun nights out with my little ones.

Cute kitties who follow me around every morning.

Dress-up homeschooling

Little Prince ending his hunger strike

Cute girls in cute jammies

Fun experimenting with weighing things

Watching my boy explore his world.

The CAT

We finally got down to see The CAT!!  It was really big and beautiful!

Saying Goodbye

As this move draws closer, I find myself feeling a little melancholy about some things.  Now to be clear, there are some good things that I do know: 

• I know that when all is said and done, we will be happier and more settled than we have ever been.  
• I know that this new house will be more and better than we could ever hope for again.  
• I know that this new yard and garden is fantastic. 
• I know that moving to an historic community that is actually the oldest one in Nova Scotia is exciting.  
• I know that the fact that when we arrive we will have a note left on our counter with all the helpful local information and a number to call when we want someone to show us around is AMAZING and says something about the friendly nature of the residents there.
• I know that when this is over, we will be very happy.

But I also know that I liked it here.  I DID NOT like our accommodations, but I LOVE Yarmouth.  It is beautiful, friendly, welcoming, and special.  I found lots of favorite places, parks and shops and I became friendly with the shop owners, to the point that they would make friendly inquiries about our past conversations when I came in.  While I knew our house wasn't at all suitable (it felt like a slum), I honestly thought we would be in Yarmouth for a long time.   So now as our move draws closer, I find myself silently saying goodbye to places I am going for probably the last time.  And it makes me a little sad. 

As I told Prince Charming, I will be glad when this move is done, so that I can be done saying goodbye and begin the process of exploring and making Annapolis Royal our new home, one which I am confident we will be in for a long time.

The little girls are totally enthralled with fishing with Prince Charming.  It is do cute to see how much they love it.  I have to say, I live being on the waterfront too.
