Daphné's new room

We made this back bedroom a guest room for several guests last year, so it's about time we changed it into a proper room for our sweet little Daffodil.  One of the main reasons we didn't move on it earlier was our search for a new place to live.  We have decided to stay in this apartment for the time being to welcome Daphné's little brother, and then, we will probably start the apartment hunt again.

Thankfully, Daphné is really loving her new room (and so are mama and papa)!  It's nice to have ALL her things in one room, as opposed to three ;).  AND, it's super easy to clean up.  See those bins?  Just toss it all in there, and it looks immaculate!  Very thankful for God's provisions to buy these pieces of furniture.  He provides in the coolest ways!

the little things

i once wrote a song called "Little Things" - as you can imagine, the lyrics encourage us, me, you to appreciate the little joys in life.  You can listen to it HERE and even download for free it if you'd like (along with the rest of the CD for that matter)... =)

That aside, I have some little things here that I'd like to share:

 writing valentines to my girlfriends including my first real French poem

 purple flowers decoration made by hand from some dear friends

my awesome caddy and it's plethora of uses

a note from a sweet friend

planning "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" for our church with another good friend

all of...

 the colors...

 at Ikea

 Borki, my little friend

 I'm healed after all that

 early birthday lunch with family

merci Cricri !!!

thank you Jesus for all the little things,

for it's in the little things that we see the big things

like how marvelous you truly are !!!

Love,

Linz
