Purging seems to be a theme in my life and in the lives of many around me. It's dang hard to let go and I'm a little weary of that lesson when it comes to people, but for stuff... this is great. Amy may have about 35 tablecloths, 7 copies of Green Eggs and Ham and blankets for everyday of the week for the whole neighborhood. We are reorganizing closets and cleaning out bookshelves and trying to make life at this home at the height of functionality and ease. they have many great things and it is obvious this house is set up to host and serve. it will be interesting to see how the tables are turned as their lives change in the next little bit. I really hope and look forward to community that may rally around them, and hopefully even some community with similar experience. it is such a different wait at this point.

Hannah did ask Amy, "When is Bea going to crawl out of your belly and be born? And then will your belly button be okay?" She is a wee concerned about Amy's belly button at this point. We decided not to really get into the delivery process...

Okay, more tomorrow when we work setting up Amy and Aaron's new room and Bea's first room. Stephen is going to be taking the train up after work. We are ready to see him and I did feel sad he didn't even have a bud to get a beer with while we are gone... oh time. Total sidenote... we watched Midnight in Paris tonight. Not sure i can handle Owen, but the dresses in this movie are fantastic. If only life was really that exciting at midnight...
