Georgia on my mind

Packing up- Blevin and Caleb are enjoying hanging out in the boxes

The boys hanging out in the truck!

Caleb has a wall of built-ins in his room- so of course it did not take them long to climb on in!

Well.....the move is over and we are official Georgians! After moving and getting settled for a week, Blevin got the flu and then this past weekend I got to go to St. Louis with a friend to see another friend! So- it has been a whirlwind too! I have adjusted pretty well to Carrollton! It is a really neat town. The first few days it was an adjustment to Eastern time, we had been outside and Caleb started getting fussy and I just thought he was fussy and then I would look at the clock and it was dinner time and I had no idea because it was so pretty outside! The boys have adjusted just fine- EVERYTIME we leave and come back Blevin says we are at our new house! I love the house, so that is good- it has kept me distracted from being sad about leaving Jacksonville! The one real reality was going to church here the first Sunday- it was good, but not Grace Fellowship- who by the way gave us a brunch the Sunday before we left that was so encouraging and sad at the same time- I am fighting tears right now thinking about how the people of that church have affected us and I am so thankful for the lifelong friends we have made. So, Georgia has been good and I confident this is where we are supposed to be!

we really aren't bad parents

these are a few of Caleb's latest adventures.....he is truly a monkey!! He climbed out of his crib and I woke up hearing his sound machine change sounds and then Seth was watching the boys and they got quiet and this is where he found him (in the sink)!!

a few new things

For those friends that are checking everyday, sorry it has been a week since I have updated- my computer quit working, we have been trying to say all our good-byes and packing up! For our faithful supporters that are reading this- this is an update on the ministry at JSU! Although we are leaving, there are still things happening! There are about 12 students that are really wanting to Lord to work. As of this week, 4 evangelistic Bible studies have started in ZTA sorority, Independent women, Kappa Sigma fraternity, and the Baseball team. At the baseball Bible study, they discussed whether Christianity is a religion or relationship and there were about 10 guys there! So, although we are SOOOO sad to leave, we are excited about the faithfulness of the Lord. I have been trying to pack- we are set to move February 11th!

Here a few pics of the boys this past week-

Oatmeal anyone? Caleb likes his oatmeal and this describes how he looks at life- he attacks it and enjoys it!! I have had so many funny pictures of Caleb lately- so here a few of my little Blevin angel who said this week-"Mommy you are my bestest mommy ever!" Talk about melting my heart! This is him with one of his friends- Avery and proof that I have packed a few boxes

7 Dresses......

In light of the new movie that just came out- 27 dresses a group of us girls went to see it and yes the brave ones did wear old bridesmaid dresses! Just thought we could get one more use out of them! We did get a few looks- but it was fun and if you are in the mood for a true chick flick- check out the movie- it is really cute!!

Sweet Sophie

Thank you so much for your prayers and concerns- Carlton and Aimee are doing okay- by God's grace! Sophie was born last night and lived 9 peaceful, beautiful minutes before going to be with the Lord. Seth went to see them last night and said it was so encouraging to be with Carlton and see how the Lord's strength has been so good and they talked about Sophie being in heaven with Christ. It is such a sweet and glorious thought. Please go check out her blog to see how amazing Aimee is doing- www.weathersfamily2007.blogspot.com and please keep praying for them, because there will be some hard days ahead!

Please pray....

Our sweet pastor and his wife, Aimee are about to deliver a sweet angel (Sophie Ann) today that will not make it. They have known from the first sonar that she would not make it- she does not have a brain. So.... please pray for them- Carlton and Aimee Weathers and they have a 5 year old little girl, Hannah Grace and 3 year old, Noah and little Sophie Ann will come to be with them for a short, but sweet time.
Today is also the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Aimee said she knew that Sophie just wanted to show them that every life matters and counts. It has been so neat to see the Lord work in the lives of this family and as a result in our church. As I have been thinking about this and any hardship in life I have been thinking of a song based on Psalm 62 by Aaron Keyes-

" My soul finds rest in God alone, my rock and my salvation..... find rest, my soul, in God alone amid the world's temptations; When evil seeks to take a hold, I'll cling to my salvation. ........I'll set my gaze on God alone, and trust in Him completely; with every day pour out my soul, and He will prove His mercy. Though life is but a fleeting breath, A sigh too brief to measure, My King has crushed the curse of death and I am His forever- Oh praise Him, Hallelujah, my delight and my reward, everlasting, never failing- My Redeemer, My God

I am so thankful that His mercies are new every morning-

Caleb left unattended.....

Well...as you can see- my hands are full!! He makes me laugh all the time! I guess these are the things he is learning from his big brother!

He used the chair on the other side of the table to somehow get on the table?!?!
