Yay! We have a place to stay! It was tricky but we finally found a house to rent in Omaha for the amount of time our parsonage will be getting its face lift. A very kind soul has agreed to a 9 month lease and 7 kiddlets to occupy this little beauty. We plan to move in on the 28th!

“Mama, instead of tooSS I say tooFFF!”
