What a Spring We are Having!

Wow, what an amazing month and more we have had. We travelled to Ohio, packed up our house into three separate places, closed on the sale of our first house, moved into an apartment, and have watched our house come into existence. It has been so fun and so busy all at once! However, life in the apartment yields a few major challenges: no internet, a kitchen where it is nearly physically impossible to have more than one person in it at once, and the constant question of “where did I pack ______?” Deep down, I know that this will just make me appreciate the gift of a new house even more come June 25th, yes- I did just say it aloud- June 25th- about three weeks earlier than we originally thought- and three fewer weeks of apartment living- and three additional weeks of summer break for me to unpack everything I am looking for and determine its perfect place. Isn’t God amazingly good to us?!?!?


Coby is growing into the most amazing toddler I could imagine. He is wonderfully fun, delightfully happy, passionate about all things~ good and bad, and the absolute apple of our eyes. This is not to say that he is “perfect” by any stretch. He is indeed a toddler- tantrums and hugs together. While there is nothing more frustrating than watching him throw an all-out tantrum in a store; there is nothing more perfectly wonderful than him wrapping his arms around you and laying his head on your shoulder~ toddlers- an amazing age! We are so very blessed. Picking out pictures to share from such a long period is a complete challenge, but below, I have picked out some good ones!


Well, the coming month will likely be one of limited posts again as we are living without internet at the apartment. However, we will try to get back up to the once a week or two weeks come July once we have settled in and start paying Time Warner again to stay in touch with the 21st Century. We are excited to see many of you over the summer and welcome any visitors to come see us once we are settled in the new house (sorry, the apartment is just too small for visitors).
