Since we moved last Sunday, we have neglected to get Internet hooked up and so I try to stay in ouch through my phone but how annoying is it to type and read posts on your phone? Super annoying (in case you were wondering the answer).
But today I'm at my parent's house letting the kids take a nap while Jason finishes up some last things at the house (our renters move in tomorrow!) and thought I'd take the opportunity to prove I'm still existing and things are going fantastic (though a little crazy) at our new place.
Speaking of new place - we LOVE it so far. Not knowing anyone I'm sure will get to me soon, but I hope to meet at least a few of the gazzillion young mothers that seem to be lurking around every corner of our neighborhood! Why is it that it seems harder to make new friends the older you get? I know since I'm not working I'll have to work extra hard at making this happen.
Today we drove back to Siloam to go to our church one last time before venturing out in Bentonville to find a new one next week. Kind of sad. We love CCF and all the friends and fellowship we have found there. It will all be missed dearly and always have it's special place with us.
And while I'm on the subject of things that are Godly :) I thought I'd mention a bit about what God has been doing in mine and Jason's marriage/parenting...I think I mentioned we were listening to the podcast by Mark Driscoll (Peasant Princess Series) which have had a radically impact on our marriage and discussions about where we want to take out kids with the Lord's guidance. I STRONGLY advise EVERYONE to download these 8 sermons. They truly are refreshing and have brought us closer to each other and the Lord, which have spurned into on-going conversations in the past few days about what's important in raising our kids.
Speaking of the kids, they seem to have handled the transition great! Noah is consistently sleeping until 6:30-7:00 (though still in his cradle swing) and Lincoln seems to like the extra square footage (more places to hide!) Our pool opened this week, so we might try that out soon. :)
And that's all for now...I still plan on posting pictures of our new place soon (and getting Internet). Any suggestions on cheap Internet???

Taylor and I just read your blog post and we are so excited that the Peasant Princess Series has helped your marriage and family. It really opened up all lines of communication and helped improve our marriage. We are currently reading a small book by Mark Driscoll, "Pastor Dad", you can find it on LuLu.com, it is about fatherhood and has some great scriptures about raising your kids. We recomend it! We sure miss ou guys! Julia & Taylor
I think I might want to download that series. It is hard to know which scriptural parents books are "the best." This might be something worth listing to while my husband and I run! I pray you find a new and wonderful church!
