changes

The most recent change is that Simeon is standing all of the time right now and we just can't wait for him to take his first step! Maybe by his first birthday. He is so determined to stand that he practiced for about 15min the other night standing straight up from a pillow and then falling on it. So funny.
Since the purpose of this blog is mostly to keep our family and friends updated on our life here in San Fran i will limit my wandering thoughts to a minimum.
We are entering a season of change in every sense of the word. A few weeks ago Hallel was standing outside in front of the newborn pink blossoms on the tree next to our house giving us premature thoughts of Spring. While last week we were bombarded with nights of winds and rain storms of such extravagance that Mt Tamalpias has snow at the top. Mt Tam, as we call it, has not had snow for some time.
We again enjoyed sunshine today and will be reminded of winter this week as more rain is on its way.
Besides the high and low changing emotions of our weather our dear friends are finding new homes. We are so excited with them and have witnessed God's faithfulness as they are trusting  Him to lead the way. And simultaneously seeing our little block of companions become empty houses.
It definitely leads to reflection and thankfulness of heart to have met, bonded with, and grown up in many ways with these dear friends. I love the fact that we can walk out the door and down a few houses and find sweet little playmates for our kids. Five families, 7 little amigos, and 2 buns in the oven have relocated since January. Some moved closer than others so we will just have to drive further now.
