A new beginning

After Lyla turned 1 year I told myself that I wasn't going to feel obligated to update my blog every single month however, this month is different because we have been through so many changes.

First of all, we FINALLY moved! Oh my gosh, the move was absolutely brutal. It rained the entire time. We ran out of room on the moving truck so we had to go rent an additional trailer. The house BARELY got finished in time for us to move it. In fact, we still don't have a yard, just a big muddy mess! Despite all of this I am so incredibly excited and thankful that things worked out the way it did and that we are exactly where we want to be. It was only by the grace of God that things worked out perfectly. What a true blessing and thankful doesn't begin to describe what I feel right now.

The house will be a work in progress for a while, at least in terms of getting settled in and decorated. That is the way it always goes and so I just have to find the patience......and money until then.

Lyla has adjusted great! She had to sleep in her pack-in-play a couple of night but it didn't seem to bother her a bit. She loves her new room with all the extra space for toys and such. The big news with her is that she is taking steps! Baby ones, but yes, they are steps. She is getting a little braver every day and thinks her new found adventure is hilarious!

Among all the chaos we did actually find time to have a family photo shoot. Jennifer Matlock did such a great job, especially with Lyla not feeling her best that day.

I just wanted to thank everyone that has been thinking of us and praying for us. We sure have felt the pressence of the Lord over the past few weeks.
