Moving is truly an adventure. I am really excited, nervous, sad, apprehensive, and eager to go. Mike has known we would one day move to Minnesota since he came to Tennessee, so its no surprise that we are finally going. Its actually a sense of relief to know we will be where God has called us. However, the downside to all that is that we are leaving Tennessee. All of my friends are here, my church, my home, my neighbors, everything I have known since we've been married has been here. I know we will make friends in Minnesota, start a new church there, have new neighbors and grow accustomed to the weather (maybe), but it will different. It wont feel like home, or be comfortable. It will be strange and new. And although that is exciting in one way, it's sad in another.
But if my husband and I truly believe that this is what God has called us to do (which we do), then we will make it and be okay.
So, in other news, I think we can safely say that Abbie is potty-trained now. It's been almost 5 days of consistent runs to the bathroom, followed by huge grins and an organic fruit snack treat. Sam also finds the bathroom facinating so maybe we can start on him next!
Awww, aren't they cute? Notice Sam's huge choppers? He has been using them to chomp on various parts of my body- arms, shoulders, legs, neck, whatever happens to be close. I am working on solving this issue, but it's taking longer than it did with Caleb and Abbie. One good bite back and they were cured. Sam must have tougher skin...
My little man is growing up too fast! He is just a few days shy of being 10 months old! He is changing so fast- making hilarious faces, laughing at silly things, saying "mama" and "dada" and "baba" (which is bye-bye). Its too cute.
Yes, Caleb is holding a fantastically large Nerf gun that his Daddy bought a few days ago. That makes four that we now own. Mike claims to have bought it for Caleb, but I have my doubts...
Let me just say that we love our kids. We really do. God has been so good to us, blessing us with these little ones to love and train. I truly believe that if you love your kids and love God, that's all you need to raise a family. And we have both of those ingredients!
I just can't take enough pictures of me and my sweet boy!
My blue-eyed beauty. She is such a doll! Although she is by far my most challengin child, she is also very sweet and loving. We all get lots of hugs and kisses from our princess, and many many smiles too!
Silly kids! They beg for ice cream all the time, and fortunately for them, Grandpa and Grandma Frey were around this time. :)
Hope your week is blessed of God!
