Whirlwind Weeks

To say these past three or so weeks (or maybe even month!?) have been a whirlwind...well, I think that might just be an understatement.  It's been caaa-raaa-zzzy! 

We packed up all our belongings, moved to a hotel for a few nights, cleaned our old place, handed in the keys, hopped on a plane, survived a plane ride (literally...it was rough to say the least), and now we're back in the Land o' Target...and I, for one, am pretty happy about that :) 

We were greeted at the airport with happy, smiling faces of friends and family and then after a much needed meal were taken to "our" house where everything was waiting for us in perfect order.  It was completely humbling and we are more than grateful.

I actually, shamefully, have not picked up my big camera.  I'll blame it on the fact that we are still settling in and things are kind of all over the place...but really I could also blame the fact that my iphone is so stinkin' convenient to grab and snap photos with...ugh, iphone (yet, I love thee).

So, here's a smorgasbord of iphone photos from the last few weeks (actually most of these are from this past week here).  Some of these have made it onto Instagram (I'm @palmerponderings), but most of them are just moments I clicked and need to put here for future remembering.

 Some light reading on the flight over :)

My long awaited Target trip...I was incredibly excited.

 Having grass in our backyard has been such a gift.  The girls have already been taking advantage of it.

 Someone found a friend in the mirror!

 Just her size :)

 Daddy has LOVED having the opportunity to get these girls involved in some outdoorsy things...above, riding the lawnmower, and below fishing with WORMS!

And grandparent time has been enjoyed by all.

Needless to say, it's been an intense last few weeks, but great too.  We're still soaking it all in...and trying to catch up on sleep too ;) We're thankful!
