We celebrated our third anniversary by going out to dinner at Thai restaurant on the top floor of a highrise in downtown Baku. It was a lovely evening!
A few months later we returned to the US and bought our first home!
I have never loved a home as much as this one ... it is absolutely perfect for us!
This is not just a house ... This is the place where we hang our stockings.
& ... This is the cozy corner for the tree decorated by little hands.

This is the red front door where we take pictures on the first day of school!
This is the place where we welcomed Benjamin home (more about that next week)!
This is the dining room where we have had countless family dinners.
This is the backyard where we have had so many pool parties & cook-outs.
This is the hearth where our kids preform regular talent shows!

We settled into our home that year. We also settled into a new phase of life that included graduate school, spending time with family (near and far), and enjoying life in the USA. It was a year of relief, refreshment, renewal, and rest. God was so good to us! He knew exactly what we needed after all that we had been through. This was the year that our house became a home. Oh, and it was also the year when we found out that our trio would become a quartet!
Tune in next week for Year 5: New Beginnings!
I feel like I'm learning so much more about you, Kate! I love these posts!
