fresh joy

my home feels full of joy.

it's been full of friends the past couple of days.
and i moved joseph's kitchen set from our kitchen to his room.
and in its previous location, now a cafe-style table area in a somewhat-more spacious kitchen is possible.
and it's sunny outside.
and i've got a thankful tree in progress.
and i just feel the Lord's presence here.



i like it.

there was a wonderful moment this morning in which joseph, who had been immersed in lego-land while i picked up his rocking chair and removed it from his room, stood up from lego-land, stood in the spot where the rocking chair usually sits, stared straight ahead, looked at me in confusion, failed to get out the words rocking chair in said confusion and instead started making a rocking chair gesture, and finally was able to ask "where'd the rocking chair go?" after i prompted "are you looking for the rocking chair?" so amazing. i don't even know why. but it was.

i hope your day is filled with similar wonderful moments.



p.s. my home is also filled with laundry. will somebody please tell me how to win the jessie vs. basket of unfolded laundry that shuffles from room to room but neglects to be folded battle?
