Loving Little Girls

Well, things are finally settling down around here! I know where to get groceries and even have made some friends! :) Ellie will start dance lessons in the middle of August and I have purchased some of her outfits for her birthday. She is really having a hard time making good choices. I have decided to use the old teacher trick of adding marbles (rocks) into a baby food jar. That has really changed her behavior! PRAISE THE LORD for my education at SPU! :) So far she has earned a picnic party with her parents, a day with her neighbor, and 1/2 day with day at his office! Now she is going to earn ballet lessons (little does she know that I have already paid for them!) :)

Well, it happened...Mollie fell down the stairs today. I thought my heart was going to stop. We have a gate, but someone left it open. I made sure Ellie didn't feel bad about it. She is fine PTL! That was my biggest nightmare about buying a house with two floors, but I figured other people do it and live! We have a gate, but I'm so glad God watches over us and His angels can keep us safe. Ellie asked, "Did it die her Mom?" Poor girl!

We were just having fun in our ballerina outfits!
Mollie needed a prop!

Tongue licker!

Sweet girl loves to stick out her tongue!

Florida Vacation

We had a GREAT time in Florida! The girls got a tan and Ellie practiced her swimming in the pool. Mollie loved the waves in the ocean.

Finally settling in Kentucky

Wow! What a whirlwind experience! I think we have unpacked all our boxes...we are still trying to fit it all inside the house (out of the garage), but everything is out of the cardboard! :) Ellie LOVES her new "beautiful" house. The girls have had a hard time getting to bed. I think it's got to be hard knowing that mom and dad are downstairs. A few times Ellie has stood at the top of the stairs crying for one of us to help her come down to snuggle. They both have been sleeping in late. I hope to get them more on a schedule this week. Greg started his new job yesterday. He's slowly taking boxes from our garage and unpacking them in his new office.
I have already volunteered to help my sweet friend (32 weeks pregnant) with her VBS. I can't wait to be a teacher and not a director!!! I miss my Texas buddies. (Thanks for the phone calls.)
I'll add pictures once there's something worthy of posting! I just wanted to let you all know we made it here safely!

sadness has set in

2008-05-19T22:07:00.000-07:00

We have loved the good-bye parties and visits, but it has officially set in...I am sad about leaving a wonderful home with great friends. Please pray for us as I know once we leave on Thursday the flood gates of tears will open. God has been so faithful to our family in Lubbock. I know he is directing our steps to Kentucky, but it hurts.

Started this Crazy thing!

Okay, I only have a few minutes, but wanted to figure out how to do this blog thing before we pack up our computer! I've heard this is a GREAT way to keep your friends and family updated on our lives...I hope I can remember to update it! :) Kentucky, here we come!
