Whole Lotta Love

So I hope you don't be blogger overloaded, but AGAIN, I have some catching up to do. Order of events....Grandad and Nini's visit, Daddy J's 40th Birthday trip to Phoenix, Daddy J's party with Grandma & Grandma J and Uncle P & Aunt D's visit, Easter, visit from the Steamboat Zs, and finally today's celebration - #2 for Mr. B!

Day 333

Our 3 week anniversary for our home is marked with day 333! Kinda fun!

So moving day was Feb 13th, which also was the day we moved from the world of health to the world of colds. The day we moved in was the first of of the worst cold ever for me. And likely so, the kiddos got it the following week. The Lord graciously spared J dad so he was able to keep on keeping on. I title this day with a number, due to the fact that we have yet to "finish" the house. My question to anyone out there that has ever built a home, or even just own one...is there ever a day that you finish? I doubt it. However, we really do have some work left and some that won't get touched until all the snow melts...which may not be that far away :(

All in all, I can't explain how blessed we feel just resting our heads under such a roof as this. We praise His name for His provision and direction and thank Him every day for His glory in all of his creation, including this home. We also want to thank you guys for your prayers throughout this journey. They have truly sustained us. We can't wait for you to come visit, dine, sleep, party, play...whatever with us here (the girls are kicking it off tonight with their first sleepover guest, they can hardly wait!).

So here are a few pics of the last couple of weeks, as well as a few from last summer that I just had to share again. Its funny when you have a quiet moment at the computer what you can do :)

Love to all,
Jo

Day 274

We are sooooo close. J is working super long and hard every day and night. We hope to be in by the end of this month (however, a month ago we had a month left). No really, I think its going to happen this month.

Please pray for safety and God's wisdom over the final decisions.

Christmas 2008

Here are a few pics of our Texas Christmas. 14 hours to and 16 1/2 hours fro. However, totally worth every runny nose, cry for help, minute of lost sleep, and loud scream of pain. We got to see the Atlata crew, the Durango crew, the Dallas folk, a few down from TTU and our long lost but ever so loved friend, Paul.

Happy New Year!!!

Quick Pic Update

Just a few pics to update you guys. Sorry that it has been so long. Moving took all of my free time, Praise the Lord! We are now at mom's for a few months while hubby finishes the house. The kiddos have been great through this all. They haven't missed a beat...Halloween, Thanksgiving, and now counting down to Christmas.

Pics of the house soon to come.

Love,

Jo
