Our little Jadyn is looking more grown up everyday!

Hello, Genesis 1:1...???

We were teaching Jadyn a Bible verse today - Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

Later this evening, Jadyn was in the bathroom and we heard her little voice repeating over and over, "I'm Genesis 1:1, I'm Genesis 1:1." I went in there to see what the commotion was about, asking, "Jadyn, what are you doing?", to which she replied, "I'm not Jadyn; my name is Genesis 1:1!" and then she burst into laughter.

All night we kept hearing, "I'm Genesis 1:1, I'm Genesis 1:1." We're still trying to figure out why it's so funny, but then I guess you have to be 5 to get that one. Jadyn thought it was the funniest joke in the world tonight. Ah.. to be 5 again :-)

We're here!

Wow! It's hard to believe, but we're actually in our new house now! The kids were very excited to sleep in their own beds in their new rooms on Saturday night for the first time.

The kids ate their first meal in the house.

The girls had a blast playing with the neighbors one night last week as we were working on getting the house "move-in" ready.

Thanks to all those who helped us move in. Lots of hands definitely make light work - we were all moved out of the storage unit and into the house in only a couple hours.

Although most of our rooms look like this, we're very excited to be in the house and begin unpacking our boxes and getting settled in.

Check our family photos link for more pictures from the last month. We're slowly trying to get caught up, so bear with us :-)

Brief update...

Wow! It's been a very long time since we've updated. Here's the quick skinny...

1) We have a renter for our old house - praise God! They moved in last Saturday. It's great to be done with all the work to get our old house ready to sell/rent, getting moved out, fixing things up, etc. Many, many long days in Covington!

2) Our new house is scheduled to be done Nov 5th and we're planning to move in on the 10th. We're waiting for final approval from the underwriter's on our loan, which we should hear today or tomorrow...! It's been amazing to see God work and take care of the details many times we couldn't see how things were going to work out.

3) The girls are doing great! Jadyn had her 5th birthday a few weeks back and is looking more and more grown up every day! Karina is having a blast and growing like a weed, too.

4) We've had a great time living with Mark's parents this month. The kids (and us) have loved having Grammy and Grandpa there everyday and getting to spend so much time with them.

Here are a few quick pics from the new house visit last week. We'll try to add more soon of kids and other things, but internet access has been sporadic this month and we've been crazy busy living between two different cities. We'll recap a little more of the last month when we're with pictures we can post alongside.

Quick update...

We are officially moved out of our house. Mark's parents have invited us to join them for the next month or so. The girls are having so much fun getting to see Grammy and Grandpa everyday, and it is always entertaining to watch 3 cats try to get along.

Our new home will be done in November - as long as everything stays on schedule.

We haven't gotten our computer hooked up online yet, so the posts will be a bit delayed. I promise to add pictures and details soon.
