Nearing our Move Day!


The continuation of my email thread to all of those who are lifting us up in prayer.  We are so thankful for each and every prayer that's been lifted up!

 

Thank you all for praying!  It’s been quite a whirlwind around here...

*We signed and closed on our house yesterday!  

*Monday at 10a is our scheduled inspection for our Idaho house.

*Monday morning we pick up the moving truck to pack it up.

*Monday evening we meet with our buyers to walk throughout our property and talk more about what we’ve done to upkeep it and discuss things we’re leaving behind.  

*Monday night we take the moving truck to Molalla where we will be living with Curtis’ mom and step dad until we head to Idaho. 

*Tuesday morning we head to Idaho with the moving truck to empty into into a rented storage unit.  

*Wednesday morning we head back to Oregon!  

We ask for continued prayers for the following things:
(1) That the rest of the process of moving is covered in grace as these days of packing are long days and we’re all tired.
(2) That the inspection of our new home would come back clear of anything major.
(3) That God’s hand of protection would be over our trips to and from Idaho as we transition there.
(4) That we would continue to be still enough to recognize the moments of God’s presence throughout this whole process.  

The hedge of protection you’ve provided our family as you’ve bathed us in prayer has been amazing.  We thank you for continuing to think of us.

Now back to packing boxes…

The hole William has been working on since we moved here 3yrs ago, we finally had to fill in.  He's hand dug it all and provided himself many hrs of entertainment in the meantime.  It's served as a hide out, a pool, a mud pit and many more things with his (and Calvin's) crazy imaginations.

Calvin didn't mind at all being left behind at Grandma's

Oct. 6th, 2008 We're having a... 20 weeks 5 days

...BOY!!!!! We were very pleased to see a very healthy little baby on the monitor. He clearly let us see that he was a boy despite the fact that he's facing breech right now. All systems intact, his hands have fingers and his feet have toes, and his little heart was beating about 136bpm. He weighs in at approx 14 ounces so he's already almost hit a 1 pound (they said he measured a little bigger than what was expected for my due date). He was moving around quite a bit and kept putting his hands in front of his face while we were trying to get pictures. Curtis said "This little guy doesn't know he's got the wrong family; we're all mellow." We are so thankful that everything measures out fine and that things are progressing well. We get to go in for our 3-D ultrasound Nov. 21st. Happy Birthday Mel (her birthday is today!), you're gonna be Auntie to a nephew!

Sept. 17th, 2011 30 weeks (and 2 days) with #2!

Really? 30 weeks already?! WHERE DID THE TIME GO???!!! He'll be here before we know it! Well, we just keep pluggin' along. Every day his kicks get a little stronger and the belly gets a little bigger-two blessings (you have to count them as that right?!) that remind me he's alive, well and growing. A couple of friends have had their baby's in July and Sept. and it's definitely become more of a reality that I'm next now that they have their little ones (o: We are SO excited and just so very thankful that everything is going so well. It's simply amazing to me how a woman can continue on with life so normally as their body is used as a station of creation by God to form a new human being..."amazing" doesn't even capture it...We serve an incredible God! Here's me and my goofy William, posing with little brother. I got him to take pictures with me by convincing him he could roll his tongue like mom was doing...Guess my boys have a prett...

Jan. 12th, 2012 Potty Training

Image
We've been working with William on potty training. We started seriously thinking about it this past Summer, when he could run around naked outside and watch himself pee (in the grass and not all over the house!). He caught on pretty quickly (to the peeing part that is) and had fun picking different objects to pee on (trees, rocks, leaves...fortunately not the dogs). Then, I decided we weren't gonna push the issue until after brother was born. I'd heard all kinds of people tell me that he would likely just regress, so I figured we'd at least introduce the whole concept and pick back up after Calvin was born. Sportin' the birthday suit while we practiced outside...I'm sure the pool had plenty of pee in it too. We told William that babies like Calvin wore diapers and that he wasn't a baby anymore. I guess this is where big boys wear their diapers...And for some reason I can't find this picture of this one for the life of me (one of William wearing a d...
