Quick Update







Here is Audrey Packing the First Official Box. What a helper! Although, I think this may have been how her cousin, Esther, lost her baby.

Adam and I all dressed up for a formal dinner with our Senior High. We went to a Japanese Steakhouse, Yummy!!

This is the flooded Maumee River. Thankfullly we don't live too close, but a family in our church had the river gct to the road in front of their house. Praise the Lord their house is going to be ok.

This is the outfit Audrey got her 18 month picture (just a few weeks late!) taken in. She did a really nice job smiling. In fact, JCPenney's wanted the collage they did of her for their studio portrait album!!

Audrey's new toy storage/ desk and chair from IKEA. She loves to sit and read there!!

Snow Storm from a little over a week ago. Audrey enjoys the snow!!


Well, I am hoping Audrey is down for her afternoon nap so I can get some organizing done. I don't have many boxes, although I bought a bunch of storage tubs to help make things more organized. At this point I am trying to go through closets to pitch what we don't need so we can pack them easier, once I have more boxes.
As for the house update. The guy has been approved for the loan and I think the next step is to set a closing date, we will then have 30 days to get out of our current house.
We did make a bid on Friday night on a house, and we should hear something by tomorrow. Please pray that the Lord will open the doors for the right house. We don't want this house if it isn't what's best for our family. We are trying to keep our focus on the Lord and not the what if's right now. In other words, I'm doing my best not to try to plan what color we would paint the bedrooms if we get the house. . . I don't want to set my heart on it; although I will be disappointed if it doesn't work out. The Lord knows I need to learn patience.

Better get busy. Enjoy the pictures!

Thanks for the quick update! Love the dress that Audrey wore for her pictures - I just love those colors together! We'll be praying that all goes through alright in both house situations!

Praise the Lord for selling your house. I will pray that He leads you to the perfect house.

The picture of Audrey in her brown dress is adorable! She looks so much like her daddy=) Do you hear that a lot? She looks like a lot of fun. Hope you have fun packing!!

Happy packing - I used tons of Luvs boxes myself. I also love the brown dress, she's so cute and I think there is quite the resemblance between her and her cousin.
Be anxious for nothing but in everything with prayer and thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
