We made it to see our newest little friend Arrabella Thomas. She is so beautiful. Haley loved her new little baby! There are lots more great pictures on my flickr account. I would have posted more on my blog however, my parents have dial-up...I'm used to cable. Enough said! If you are in the seattle area and would like to see us just let me know.

We made it!!!

The day of traveling went well. It was a long day and we were so glad to get off the pain that reeked of throw up. A little girl two rows up from ours hurrled! The girls waisted no time. They got down to dress-up play almost immedietly. It is so good to see friends and family again.

Fun with the McFarlings

My Uncle Bob and Aunt De-knee (spelling complaments of Hans)so graciously let us stay with them for two weeks before we headed to Washington. The girls loved the time with their "adopted" grandparents. I think they had a good time with the kids as well. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Lets get mov

The drama continues...

Well we are still not quite sure what our lives will look like in a week. The good news is that the banks have accepted our offers. We should close on those in a few weeks. We'll put both of them up for sale but live in one until it sells. Hans' latest idea is to buy an RV and live in that. I'm not so fond of that idea. I'd rather just get an appartment. Anyway, we are trying to get our business here wrapped up by the end of the week so we can head to Washington. Life is full of uncurtainty right now. Pray for me if you think about it. I'm stuggling to have positive perspective.
I really do have so much to be thankful for. God is so good to us. We are currently being stretched and it is rather uncomfortable at times.

Home sweet home...Somewhere!

I am eagerly awaiting the day that I can be queen of my own domain again. We are so greatfull to my aunt and uncle for letting us stay with them while our lives are in limbo. But it's a challange for all of us agusting to such arrangements. We are in the middle of three realestate deals. We are hopeing to get them wrapped up by next week so we can head to Washington for a visit. I don't suppose Jenn, that you could wait that long to have you baby? If I do recall I waited for you to come back from Uganda to have Elizabeth. But having just resently experienced full term pregnancy I do not request that of you, although I would love to be there.
Elizabeth just fell out of bed...gotta go!
