Our crazy couple of weeks!

Well, crazy could describe our past couple of weeks and also the reason I haven't got around to blogging. We made it to TX and have really enjoyed being with family again. It seems almost strange to have all of our family close by (living away from them for so long) but a wonderful blessing. Faith has transitioned very well, which I'm so thankful for. She has enjoyed playing with her cousins and being reunited with Callie's dog, Annie. Although much to my dismay and disgust I found her on all fours, head down, drinking Annie's water!!! I guess to a toddler whatever a dog eats or drinks must be tasty for them too. =)
Jason started back to work on Thursday and so far things are going well. He is enjoying being back and just trying to get the swing of things again. I'm doing well, it's been a big couple of weeks and at times have been a little overwhelming. I've been coughing more so we are going to call my local doctor and see if we can figure out the problem. We feel like we have been through a whirl wind yet through the craziness I have had to stop and reflect on what an amazing God we serve. It's a huge miracle and blessing for me to be where I am and to be doing the things I am able to do now. It's easy for me to get caught up in the silly details of life and forget to stop and say, "thank you" to the Lord! There is much to be thankful for though! I thought I would just share some videos and pictures of the activities that have kept us a little occupied.

I guess the best place to start would be the great moment of firing up the truck!

Faith loves to "help" daddy with his truck and if she could drive it she would!


We had a fun good-bye party with our great Sunday school class, which we pretty much consider them family! They have been through so much with us and we feel so blessed to have them has friends! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!


Faith is just lounging around in daddy's shoes watching TV! (Look relaxing, huh?)


Saying good-bye to our house


Of course, our big adventure was heading out to TX and like all moves and road trips there are always "bumps" and delays that go along with it (or at least on our trips there are). =)

We are very excited as we WELCOME 2 new nieces this week! Christie, Brandon's wife (Jason's brother) will have her c-section on Wednesday (Baby Nan)! And....Melissa (Jason's sister) will be induced on Thursday (Baby Lily)! So, we got here just in time for all the excitement!

Can't believe you are finally back in Texas! Please remember to take care of yourself through all this craziness. What about doctors and all of that to take care of you. I know that is all figured out but just would like to know. We at Crestview can't wait to see you all again. Faith is a cutie and I'm sure was lots of help during the move! Ha Stay strong. In Him, susan and wes
