I guess I'm trying to compensate for not posting at all last month, by posting a bunch this month. Or I suppose I'm just trying to slow down and enjoy the good things about each day. Today certainly had good things. Sister's, Joanna and Lydia spent the night in our Home on Spring Street while Mama and Papa Dell took a trip to Hillsdale to visit Isaac and Rebekah. It was such a blessing to have Lydia and Jo around to help me with the boys today. It was also a blessing that Joanna made Pumpkin Spice muffins (Oh, you've never heard of those? Well, thats because they didn't exist until today).<br />

I really do enjoy my work. Children are such precious gifts, so quick to ask forgiveness, so quick to love, so quick to explore. Spending time with children is like seeing the world again like God sees the world.<div>

Until next time, from our Home on Spring Street.<br /><br /></div>

Of course it's hard to compete when you have sister-in-laws like <a href="http://joannadell.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Joanna</a> and <a href="http://marystrecker.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mary</a>, who post fantastic posts and are timely in keeping up with current events. In the last month, we have settled into somewhat of a routine here in our Home on Spring Street. I am now working full-time as a nanny, which is part of the reason why I haven't posted in awhile. I watch my younger cousins, MJ, who is almost two, and Evan who is 4 months old. Three days out of the week Joseph and I go to their house to watch them and two days they come here. I have been very blessed to have an opportunity to make a little bit of income for our family, and it's been wonderful for Joseph to have brothers to play with. I will admit though, I miss home when I'm gone all day. When MJ and Evan are a little bigger, I hope to be able to stay at home full time.<br />

<br />In other news, Noah has done a lot of work to the outside of the house. All of the old bushes and weeds have been torn out and sticks and rumble have been moved. The front and back yard, although bare at the moment, look so much neater. In the later part of the month Noah hopes to power wash and paint the outside of the house. Won't that look so much prettier?<div>

Of course I must post some pictures of Joseph, because it seems like he changes constantly. He's now cutting teeth, the front bottom two. </div>

That tradition still continues today, even though my family has grown, and my grandparents now have seventeen grandchildren and one great-grandbaby. So, last Saturday, this little Dell family packed up, left our Home on Spring Street and drove six hours to Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. The weather was nice all week and we spent our time swimming in the pool, playing tennis, golf, putt-putt golf, and sharing meals with family. It was such a nice, relaxing week. Check out the fun we had!</span><div>

To celebrate our new home, Noah and I decided to invite family from both sides to come enjoy good food, fellowship, and of course, our new home! This party marked a milestone in my role as a homemaker, never before have I hosted my own party in my own home. Let me tell you, it was a lot of fun. I've watched my own mother hostess many parties, it seems like she thinks of everything any guest could possibly want or need to feel welcome and cared for. I have always admired that, and was excited for the chance to make guests feel welcome in my home as well. I was also excited for Noah's and my family to see all the work that has been put into our Home on Spring Street. Noah has worked so hard to make this house our home, and I think others see that as much as I do.</span><br />

So far today, I have hung pictures around the house, made a loaf of bread, finished three loads of laundry, and watched MJ and Evan (my cousins, ages 1 year and 3 months) for a couple hours while their momma did some shopping. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, this is home now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can picture my children running across the hardwood floor, chasing each other. I can picture them playing up in the attic and biking up and down our street. I can picture a yard full of family and friends, gathered for fellowship and a good meal. It's almost to the point where I feel like we've always been here, and this is where we belong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enough with the sentiments. Speaking of family and friends, Noah and I are hosting a party here at the house this coming Friday. We wanted to give everyone a chance to see our Home on Spring Street. We are very excited about it and I hope to catch some good photographic moments to share. Now, for some pictures from the move.</span><br />

I wish I would have been more diligent about posting and keeping up with the happenings with our Home on Spring Street. I am hoping that home life will settle into a normal routine soon, it's hard to believe that we moved into our Home on Spring Street almost two weeks ago! It is definitely beginning to feel more like home. God has been so good to our family. I feel especially blessed to have been able to live in such a wonderful apartment for the first year of Noah's and my marriage. Living right behind Noah's parents is something I have definitely missed, but the good relationships that were built with them is something that will always stand.</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some pictures of our beautiful little apartment (It's hard to believe that it's located in a barn, over a milk parlor!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are thousands of different potato soup recipes out there, but I think what attracted me to the one I used was the simplicity of it. There are only four main </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ingredients; potatoes, flour, butter, and milk, ingredients many people always have in their kitchens.

The end of May seems to already be lost in time, and the first half of this week has gone by just as quickly. This little Dell family has been so busy. I wanted to take a minute to recap on the highlights. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Wednesday, Noah's former college roommate, Rob came to spend the latter of the week and weekend with us. Both he and Noah were asked to be groomsmen in another previous roommate's wedding so Rob came down from Michigan to join the festivities. Thursday, Rob, Noah, and the rest of the groomsmen took a trip to Horseshoe Casino in Cincinnati for the bachelor party while Joseph and I went to the bachelorette party (Joseph's first and probably last). For the bachelorette party, the bridesmaids, and some other close friends of the bride went to a restaurant called Via Viste for dinner, Graeter's Creamery for dessert, and back to the bride and groom's new apartment for drinks.</span><div>

It was such a blessing to catch up with old friends that Noah and I had not seen for months. Saturday, of course was the wedding. It was absolutely beautiful, from the ceremony down to the flowers (which my mother-in-law did). </span><div>

This matrimony was particularly exciting to witness because these two friends of ours, Abby and Danny, are very clearly devoted to Christ and devoted to each other. Throughout their dating relationship, they desired to glorify God, and no doubt their marriage will do just that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although the weekend was joyful and fun, it was also very exhausting. Monday found us back in our Home on Spring Street sanding and painting walls, hanging drywall, and peeling wallpaper. The work required for this project takes much patience and perseverance. Thankfully we have wonderful family and friends who are willing to help us with the burden. Monday, good friends from church came to help us work (and brought us <a href="http://www.jonessoda.com/" target="_blank">Jones Soda</a>!) Tuesday, our pastor came and helped us by preparing the living room walls for paint, and today (Wednesday), my dad and sister, Haley, came and helped us paint. Hopefully soon I'll be able to post pictures of newly painted rooms. I'm thankful for all of the time and energy so many family members and friends have donated to help us get closer to moving into our little Home on Spring Street. The long days are wearing on me, and certainly wearing on Noah. He </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">continues to be long-suffering which is very encouraging, but I look forward to the day (coming soon) when he and I and Joseph will be enjoying our Home on Spring Street and catching a breath.</span></div>

I've spent the last two days researching early 1900's home decor. What started as a simple Google search to find period paint colors, turned into an informational and very fascinating lesson on Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Our beautiful Home on Spring Street was built in 1905 (or so we were told), which would make it Edwardian style. The main difference between Edwardian and Victorian style is simply the monarch who ruled in Britain at the time. The Victorian era lasted for the duration of Queen Victoria's rule, which was 1837 to 1901. Edwardian style was prevalent between 1901 to 1910. Isn't it interesting that home architecture in America was so heavily influenced by who was ruling in Britain at the time? Well, I thought it was interesting, which is why I've spent so much time reading about, and writing a blog post about it.<br />
<br />
Edwardian style was characterized by it's open and airy feel, directly contrasting with the previous Victorian style which tended to be dark and cluttered. Below I've shared some pictures of Edwardian style decor. Perhaps our Home on Spring Street will sport some of these in the future!<br />

Now that we officially own the house, Noah has been there almost every night working to make it ready to move into. I've realized how much I miss having him home in time for dinner. My husband is such a hard worker. I know that in a couple weeks Joseph and I will be able to enjoy evening time with Daddy in our new home!<br />
<br />
Speaking of which, here is a little tour of our humble abode. <br />

In the beginning stages, this house may look a little rough. Honestly I wasn't sure that I wanted a project that seemed so big, but Noah saw great potential. His excitement and enthusiasm warmed me to the idea of having a Home on Spring Street. I'm thankful for that, I pray that God blesses and guides this opportunity and that our family would be good stewards of the provisions He has given us.<br />

We went to the bank last Friday and spent forty five minutes signing papers, and now, 278 Spring Street in Wilmington, Ohio belongs to the Dell family. We couldn't be more excited to begin work on our new home, and certainly there is a lot of work to be done. We have been taking lots of pictures so that we will have "before and after" memorabilia of our Home on Spring Street! </span><br />

Unfortunately this has been the case for us and our Home on Spring Street. When we began the loan process, our hope was that we would be able to close on the house at the end of April and move in at the end of May. My husband, Noah, is still confident that moving in and the end of this month or the beginning of next month is possible, but that would require a lot of long nights on his part. Prayers that we can close this week would be appreciated. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the meantime, I thought I would share pictures of my precious little "Bug". Like most babies, Joseph enjoys looking at bright lights, so Noah and I decided to nickname him Bug. We got to spend the weekend with Aunt Bekah, who was home for a visit. She got Joseph to really smile for the first time. Up to this point, he has only given us half-awake, sleepy smiles, but this weekend Aunt Bekah got him to coo, smile, and do all sorts of adorable things. Regrettably, I couldn't snap any good pictures of Bug smiling, but there are some cute ones nonetheless.</span></div>

The reason I wanted to begin a blog is I have always enjoyed free writing, I've just never taken the time to do it. Thanks to the encouragement of sister-in-law, Joanna, I decided to try my hand at this blogging thing. We'll see how it goes. I expect that over time, an online blog is meant to change just as much as the person who's writing it. Well, if I had been on top of things, I would have started this blog a year ago. A lot has changed since May of 2012 and for my first post, I thought I would share some of events that have changed my life in an wonderful way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Noah and I have always talked about having a big family and having children at a young age. Perhaps getting pregnant on our honeymoon was not exactly what we envisioned, but God is good, and He has made provisions for us to begin our family. Baby Joseph was on the way!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On March 14th, 2013, our precious son, Joseph Mark Dell was born. He was 7 pounds, 1 ounce and 20 inches long. It really was something special to hold our perfect little boy for the first time. I feel so blessed to be a mommy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now we come to the beginning of a new chapter and the title of this blog, Home on Spring Street. Noah and I are currently in the process of closing on a house located in little old Wilmington, Ohio (on Spring Street of course). The house is definitely in need of some work, but we are excited for the new project. Never would we have guessed that we would be able to live in our own home within a year of getting married and having a baby, but again, God is good and He makes provisions. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To say the least, life seems to have been in the fast lane this past year. It has been a joyous ride and I look forward to sharing it.</span></div>
