Nathan's 2nd Birthday Party

Hi Everyone! I know it's been a long silence and sooo much has gone on I don't even know where to begin. In the past month we have had a baby, moved and put on a birthday party for Nathan. Here are a few pictures from Nathans birthday. It was so much fun to have our friends and family over and not feel overly crowded. I think the kids had a blast too!

Here's Nathan chillin' in his new sunglasses while he eats breakfast.

He got a new toy work table. He currently goes to bed everynight with the hammer.

A fun picture of our friend Nolan.

The kids as they eat their cupcakes...So cute!!!

I Benjamin and Emma enjoy a movie as they were the first ones to come.

Our friend Brian took care of Daniel for over an hour while I was busy running around. Now that's a real man!

Big Thanks

This has to have been the most stressful 2 weeks of my life! We have had a baby and moved all in about 10 days. I also have to say that it has been a time when God has really shown off to us. An almost unbelievable amount of friends and family helped. There is no way we could have accomplished all of this in the amount of time we have without others help.

Last Saturday as we were just starting the actual move to the new house, I became completely overwhelmed. I ended up telling God through my tears that there was no way I would make it unless He pulled some kind of miracle. An hour later my mom and a girlfriend showed up unexpectantly saying they had come to help me. They were able to pack up most of the rest of the house in just a few hours while the guys Andy had recruited loaded the truck. The next day 3 more girlfriends called and asked if they could come over and help unpack. They unpacked my kitchen and living room making the transition into the new house that much easier. I can't believe how much God provided. On top of all that, many ladies from church have brought us meals and now my MOPS group will be providing them for a few more days. Also, little Daniel has been a joy to have around. His demeanor has been very laid back and nursing has been a breeze.

I just wanted to send out a big "thank you" to Chris & Angela, Steve & Keren, Pam, Andy & Alicia, Mechelle, Aimee, Jake & Nikki, Seth & Abi, and to all the women who have lovingly provided meals and support to us during this hectic time.

I have also been told I need to provide more pictures of our new little guy. So here are some good ones...
