From the looks of my recent posts, it’s been all house, all the time.  And while this is very close to the truth, we have been doing other real-life things.  I figured it was high-time for a ‘from the camera roll’ post in which I share some of the recent happenings in our lives, straight from my iPhone camera roll.  Let’s do this.

New glasses.  Jase’s old glasses were super scratched after only a few months of wearing them.  We had his prescription checked again and ordered new ones, this time with transitional lenses.  Not only can he see better without all those scratches, but the shades look pretty cool when we go outside!

Scripture Writing.  We are slowly covering each and every board and doorpost in our forever home with biblical wisdom and promises.

Reading:  Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living by Shauna Niequist.  Just what I needed during this season of hustle in my life.

And because I can’t completely leave house-related things out of this post, this picture.  Every morning Jase runs to the window to see what the builders are doing.  It makes my heart happy that the kids are just as excited (ok, almost just as excited!) as we are about the new house.

Lest you think a librarian’s job is all reading, all day.  This cart is full of books to be re-shelved after only 30 minutes of open checkout.  {3-0 minutes!} I don’t know about every other school, but kids at our school are readers.  I love it, but it sure keeps me busy!

I shared with you before my sweet Libby’s Vice-Presidential election story, but she was recently inducted.  She had to give yet another small speech and was honored with a Student Council pin and an official certificate.

Jase despises having his teeth brushed.  He already has several pre-cavities, so we can’t be lax about this.  Some mornings I have to literally hold him down to brush his teeth.  Other mornings, he wants to brush K’s teeth while she brushes his.  This option is definitely easier and little mama brushes his teeth just as good as I do (if not better!).
