House Update!

It's really happening!

1 Month Old

This is a little late, but we want to see Noah grow!  This is him beside his sock monkey (that at the time, was still in progress -- hence, the lack of arms, face, etc.).  We'll try to take a photo of him beside the sock monkey each month and watch him grow!

These are his stats from his one month doctor's visit.  He's a bigger guy than we expected!

A Few of My Favorite Things

Hebrews 4:11 "Let us therefore strive to enter that rest..."  

(Noah means "rest"--and I think there's more to the fact that God gave the land "rest" when the flood ended.  I think maybe there's a hint towards the greater rest that Hebrews describes.  This means that Noah's name points us to an the sure hope of heaven more than a man who built a boat. :))

Water & coffee.  Lots of both.

Encouraging notes from friends.

This cutie.

This other cutie.

Proud Papa

See that little dimple on the left?  That's Robbie's. 

Overwhelmingly large pacifier.  Don't you love it?

"Know that the Lord, he is God!

It is he who made us, and we are his..."

Psalm 100:3

A House - but not our home.

After more than a year of working, waiting and praying, we may soon close on this house!  It has gone in and out of our hands so many times now -- we truly say, Lord willing, we will move in this July.  But we will do so with this in mind... "...we know that...we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." 2 Cor. 3:1.
