Crossing The Delaware

Our dear friends, The Henns, had the kids over one day last week so I could get some packing done. Tanya is the best teacher EVER!!! She gave the kids an assignment, but the catch was, they had to do the teaching!! They could pick any U.S. President and come up with the lesson. Here is what their five kids and our three came up with ;) Enjoy!!

It's Official.......

Well, we've been waiting to share our news on our blog until we had some more time to be sure and now we are sure.......we're moving!!!!!!!! We are excited, stressed, overwhelmed, thrilled, sad - all those things. God is good. We knew we would be needing to pick a new location for John to keep things going, as his company desires. We've been praying it would either be a location that puts us right in the middle of both our families or eight hours or less to mine. I really have the need to spoil my nephew :) God has answered our prayers and we're moving to PA. We will be 6 hours from Cincinnati, 2 hours from Pittsburgh, 4 1/2 hours from Washington DC (which is very high on our field trip list!!) and 5 hours from NY. So, it's good vacation spot. We expect some visitors. We are going to dearly miss our friends and family here just like we miss our family and friends from Cincinnati, here. God is good and is pulling this all together beautifully and we know He is faithful and has always provided. We are trusting him and can't wait to see what work He has for us to do there. We are busy packing and plan to be there by the end of the month so we may be absent on the blog for awhile :)

The Winnabego

Finally... a picture of the boy's car (forgive the picture quality but I think you'll get the idea). Hayden and Holten, and their good buddy, Silas decided to make a camper for their car at AWANA drive-in movie night. It was a real hit!

Happy Birthday to our Princess!

Our Princess turned 6! It's hard to believe we were sitting in the hospital with her in the special care nursery six years ago!!! Time really does fly when you're having fun :) She has looked forward to her day for...well, a year :)!!! On the evening of January 31st we tucked her in and said prayers and when we came out of the boys room from doing the same with them, I peeked in to see if she was asleep already and she looked at me with this big grin (the kind she has when she has PROBABLY done something she shouldn't have) and I said, "Did you do something you shouldn't have done?" She giggled and said, "No, I'm just so excited that tomorrow is February and that means I'm almost 6!" She had a great day. I won't post all the pictures, I probably post too many. (That's all I know how to do! ha!) Anyway, here's a before and after picture of our drama queen. She wanted to get her haircut for her birthday. We couldn't have Carey do it so we had my friend here, at the salon I go to, cut it. Her name is Steph and it was her birthday, too. It was a lot of fun.
