Praise and Prayer

Well, I have a quick praise report...our bathroom (bath tub) was leaking, quite badly, but Bill found where it was coming from and I think we were able to fix it...which is a really good thing (and which leads into my prayer request) ...please be praying for us. We are still transitioning and it has been a really hard week. I miss home and want to run. Finances are tight because it was starting the business all over by moving. And life is just a little heavy right now. I know, that I know that God called us here and I know it will all work out, but it has been a challenging week! Thanks!

The State of the Union Address


State of the Union
Originally uploaded by newlyparents.
As you all know, last night was the State of the Union Address. Well, the most precious thing... this little girl who I can't even get to watch Veggie Tales and who shows only partial interest in Baby Einstein, was GLUED to the television watching the President! (It was a very deep moment for me.) I love this country...I deep respect for the office of the President....I voted for him and I think he has a tough job....I have deep respect for him. I believe all authority is God given (Rom 13:1). I also believe all government rests on His shoulders (Is. 9:6).

I know some of you may disagree, and that's okay...but none the less, Arrabella was captivated!

It has been soooo cold here, so we get all bundled up before we go outside...and it reminds me of "A Christmas Story" where Ralphy's little brother says "I can't put my arms down!"

What a funny picture - both girls in their own way are so distracted by all the presents and could just care less about another picture! We had such a fun day. Both girls got sooooo spoiled. I love experiencing everything thru little eyes...all the magic!

This is a picture or our house from the outside...everything is a little out of order because I have not blogged for so long...but I am sure you all understand how busy it is to move, and set up two offices and have a little crawling adventurer!

We had so much fun at the fair!!!! It was Kierra's birthday and her and BIll played like a bunch of kids...of course Kierra is 13...but what was Bill's excuse??? He is young at heart.

I have a really cute video clip....but drop shots and I have been going rounds for an hour...so, they win. If any of you know how to access video clips easily, PLEASE let me know!!!!!!
