In a short couple of weeks, we were settling into our home with our new school, neighbors and all the new surroundings. I was still a bit in shock but was seeing glimpses of God's gifts around us.
The sweet neighbor kids all had a hankering for snow cone and lemonade stands. And by the second day we were there, a stand was up (I distinctly remember crying in Valencia thinking Titus wouldn't have a stand ever in Arizona, surprised again).
One of the many surprises was the fun had in the irrigation water. I thought the boogie boards were done without beaches for hundreds of miles BUT no, they were perfect for the irrigation fun.
There were new trees to climb, and so much fun exploring on our acre + of land.
The house was getting unpacked.
We got to know neighbors and the sheer delight of monsoons in summer heat.
We got to know our cousins and the joy of living by them.
Four days after our trek across the 115 degree desert, these two kiddos started at a new school, wearing newly purchased uniforms, Tali shedding many tears and gripping me fiercy on the playground, ready for this new adventure whether we were ready or not.
