a small space in a big world

Wendover...yes, this is just about all of it

Life is...  a small space in a big world.  Living in a fifth wheel is not for everyone but for some reason life with Nathan has led us to live in one more often than not. Needless to say, we have become proficient at living in a small space and all that goes with it. This time around has definitely presented some new challenges, but the overall routine is just the same.  Of course we could not make things easier on ourselves, so on top of living in a fifth wheel  with a dog and a baby we have added cloth diapers to the mix. This is a major factor in how we do things as far as our routine, but I am passionately in love with cloth diapers so I would not have it any other way.  So, in our 35 ft (approximately 300 sq. ft) trailer we have managed to fit a crib, changing table, dog crate, baby swing and other baby paraphernalia .  

This is what it looks like:

 

 We have learned to be very proficient in our small space and everything works quite well as long as you put things back where they go so you don't trip over them.  My current space for storing blankets is in the bottom of the crib because we use the bassinet at the moment. Harlan is growing like a weed though so I will soon be figuring out a different place to store blankets so we can lower the mattress.  

 

Harlan absolutely loves being in his stroller. If he is cranky I can put him in the stroller and he is instantly the most content baby you have ever seen. Often times while waiting for clothes/diapers to wash we walk the campground.  Mo often goes on these excursions with us and is learning to walk next to the stroller without getting run over, as well as to wait patiently outside the door of the laundry facility.  Notice the diapers drying and getting some sun! The sun is magic at removing stains, why did we ever think our time was so precious that we needed dryers instead of clothes lines. Ok, just kidding, I really don't want to dry EVERYTHING on the line.  

 

We managed to nab one of the spots with a few trees but the tree at the front of the camper prevents us from using the awning at the moment. All in all we have a nice little spot and are enjoying the campground. The trickiest part is dealing with the goathead stickers but I think we will survive that too!

Our prayers go out to those dealing with recent storms and the effects they are having on crops, belongings and the overall economy in your area. May God continue to bless each of you and bring us all together soon for a visit.

p.s. you will not be hearing from me for a couple of weeks! Nathan is headed to Virginia for a job and will be taking the computer. On a positive note he will be bringing back a new home for us that will have a second bedroom, a washer and dryer and a bigger fridge. YAY!
