Transition

-
The pastor has started a new sermon series titled "Life depends on successful, godly Transitions."  It has been powerful, I guess because we are in the middle of lots of transitions in our own lives.  Transition is hard!  He pointed out in his first sermon that something has to end for something to begin, and certainly in our lives we are experiencing the ending of many things but we are looking forward with anticipation to the new beginnings that the Lord has in store for us. 

I was reminded of transition sermon series today when I went to check on Andrew during nap time.  We are in the process of transitioning him to share a room with Sam in order to put #3 in the crib.  We have just transitioned him during nap time and plan to start his new night time routine in two weeks.  He has done well and I can only pray that we, too, in the midst of our many transitions can bring honor and glory to the One who is moving us forward!
"For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11-13

Precious boy! There is so much joy in little boys, big boys, boys of all ages. Truly gifts from God! Andrew seems to grow up more everyday! He will be two so I guess he is growing into it.

Sweet Baby Andrew will soon transition into Sweet Big Brother Andrew:) As I looked at the darling picture of Andrew resting well in the "Big Boy" bed, I noticed his socks and thought... and could hear Bob the Builder say...YES WE CAN...Prayers are with you and all during this transition. God Bless.

Busy Couple Days

We have had a busy couple days trying to get everything together for our trip. My mother came over the end of last week and it has been so helpful. I have been able to do errands and gather our needed supplies for the trip. I haven't taken many pictures but we have had a fun time and the boys have enjoyed their time as well. Friday we did the majority of our packing and tonight we are going to finish up. Yesterday, we enjoyed some time at a playground in the morning. In the afternoon, my mom and Sam went to see Toy Story 3 (his first big screen movie) while Hap, Andrew and myself went to a birthday party. Sam got these glasses pictured below at Wendy's yesterday and we might try and see if security stops him in the airport:) This evening we had our last team meeting and it was a wonderful time of praying and sharing about what God has been teaching us as we prepare for this trip. We know that it seems odd to some that we would take our children literally half way around t...

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
