Busy

This is an action shot of Kate. I love her profile of her cheeks when she is intent on playing. She is holding a travel size bottle of shampoo, her favorite toy. She has baskets of toys in each room that i let her get into. she feels like she is being bad by getting into stuff when really it's her job.
andy ended up going to the coast after all, having to deliver a truck. we were left without a car, as we had one with him and one in the shop. they delivered the car today from the shop, noting that nothing was wrong, they thought. well the air conditioner is broken, and kate and i had to get out of the house so we went for a drive, and she was sweating! i felt bad. she finally fell asleep.
we did some play time in the yard on a blanket. crawling from one end to the other, she keeps busy.
we have a contract on our house in louisville, as a couple are very eager to move in. we also have a contract on the house in bsl, and we are hopeful to move in.
i have to admit i am feeling much sadness about leaving louisville, more than excitement at this point. as i walked across the street today after my walk with kate around the block to the little lunch restaurant where i order a sandwich, i was thinking, hmmm i'm going to miss this. also, everyone around town tells us all the time how sad they are. i can't go anywhere without someone telling me how "i wish you wouldn't move."
but it's clearly God's will because all the doors are open. it's so bittersweet.
thanks for all your prayers. currently, rosie and sophie are missing again. they are hard to contain. i hope they come home.
