We've created two monsters

Our kids are officially addicted to playing on our new iPhones. It's our fault. We let them have the phones to keep them quiet in restaurants and on car rides and now this is what we get...

Pink and Blue

My friend Amy helped me paint the kids' rooms before we moved in to the new house. The whole house is this tan color which is fine with us but the kids wanted to jazz their rooms up a bit. They each picked their own color...Mallory-blush and Michael-chambray 3:)

My First Day of School

My camera battery charger cord is lost so while we wait for a new one to arrive all I have is old photos to post! These were taken the morning of my first day on the job at the school.

Still Unpacking

This was the stack of boxes that was unloaded in to our new house here in East Prairie. We tackled a lot of them, moved some to the other shop garage and I am still working on others. I spent 12 hours Saturday working on them and still have more to do. Way too much stuff to say the least.

Frankfort Farewell

I never posted these pictures from our going away dinner on the last Sunday in Frankfort. They make me a little sad to look at now. We are so happy and thankful to be here but all of these friends are so dear and special to us.

Of course there was lots of good food!

Michael and Mallory have grown up with Jared, Jon and Malachi. They really are their best friends.

And the mommies are my best friends in Frankfort.

Gracie, Sam and Kourtni were in my Wednesday class for a long time.

Our good friend Ben had some nice words to say.

John and Paul worked out together for a long time and were real good pals.

Steve Martin is such a great man. He has such a servant's heart and was a pleasure to work in ministry with.

Juanita was always so supportive and kind.

Michael and Wesley are big buddies.

Roseanna is the church secretary.

Hallie and Mallory were quite a twosome.

We love love love Martha!

Miss Angela was the kids' preschool teacher. She serves the kids of the church so faithfully.

It's a school night for this little guy...

Michael got in the preschool here and starts tomorrow! We're so excited because he has been missing out on all the fun of preschool plus it will just be great to have him there with me all day! I work as an asst for one of the preschool teachers and love all the little darling 4 year olds in our class. I have been missing Michael every day since I started work and now he and Mallory and I will all ride together and be at school all day together. Michael will be in a different building from me but just right next door. I will see him at lunch and when I have recess duty which is tomorrow!!! We thank the Lord for answering this prayer request. All praise and glory to Him!

Eight is great!

Yesterday was our eighth anniversary! We celebrated by going out to dinner on Friday night at Ray's of Kelso which is about 45 minutes from East Praire. We had a wonderful wedding day eight years ago. We love to talk about it every year. And I always email my pastor who performed the ceremony to thank him for the awesome job he did. I love you Paul Matte!
