We must backtrack...Nanny and Grampy come to visit!!! (in MI)

-
Hey there...yep we're in Fort Collins, but I must go back to the beginning of this chaos. After over two years of excitedly waiting for Aaron's Mum and Dad to visit from Hungary and stay in Michigan for six great weeks...we got a phone call. Mum and Dad were driving over two days from Colorado to see us and we hear from Aaron's boss that there is an opening in Fort Collins and has put Aaron's name in for the store!!! Honestly, I knew we were moving. I had a peace that only the Lord Jesus could give me and we'd prayed specifically for Fort Collins for over a year. So to make this story a bit shorter, after a phone interview and a shocking surprise to Aaron's folks we were moving....and they were staying in Lansing because they were already commited to speak at churches there and were heading east after so it didn't make sense for them to come with us. So a few days after they got there we began to pack...and pack...and in the middle of that they babysat so we could go away for our five year anniversary.(which I will post some pic's soon) They did surprise us by riding in the car and moving truck with us and bought airline tickets back so that we could have a hand with the munchkins. After two days we arrived in the Fort and stayed in my sisters basement for a few weeks and then a hotel for ten days, then flew to Florida for a mini family reunion for Aaron, then back to the basement and then closed on our first house on August 18th and now we finally have internet!!!!! CRAZY. So I have a ton of pic's and stories and will post as fast as I can. These photos are just of Aaron's folks visit with us while we packed in Lansing.








Thanks to Grampy Malachi got this cool soccer chair and ottoman that slips into his seat slot and makes a soccer ball...very cool.

So...right before this chaos I got shingles...no...not the roofing ones...so I stopped nursing Rachel and weaned instantly to mommies milk in a bottle. She did fine...I would've loved a little more notice but I needed some rest and shingles brought me into reality.

Yep...funny trick puting this soft circle on her head Grampy...now she puts it on herself and crawls around!

I loved how absolutely excited Malachi was to see Nanny and Grampy. This is him trying to touch Nanny through the window at our appartment after waiting for them.

Moving to California, our Journey from 2 viewpoints.

     So we are moving to San Diego California!  We are going to be attending a Christian Discipleship school called IMPACT 195 (i195.org).  The goal of this school is to grow people in their relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can impact the world for God's kingdom during these 12 months and afterwards for the rest of their lives.  Please go online and check it out if you are interested in seeing what we are going to be up to!      Since we have made the decision to go to San Diego, time has gone by so quickly, so here is the back story from Aaron's perspective.  I have worked now for Furniture Row for almost 10 years!  I have also been married for 10 years!  So needless to say, I started with Furniture Row 3 months after we got married back in 2003.  As most of you know, we have moved from Colorado to Montana to Indiana to Michigan and then back to Colorado!  It has gone by quickly and we have had 4 amazing kids in the process.  Last year as Malachi started school ful

This season is full. Full of sad times, busy times and some great memories made. One thing I truly enjoy is to cook. It is in my blood. My Mawmaw is an amazing cook who then taught my mom who inspired me to cook. All three of us...well I should say four because my sister is amazing too....cook different in many ways but the same in others. It is just the joy of creating. For me I find so much joy in finding new tastes and beautiful dishes. I also find joy in old fashioned cookin. This one all started when we had moved to Indianapolis. It was the first time ever I didn't have a job. I was 7 months pregnant in a new town/state and didn't know anyone. As many of you know I rarely can sit still. I need to be productive.....and this came to mind. Why not create delicious jellies and jams.. Not only is it super cost effective. It is a fun gift to give and a great way to make healthier options for my kiddos. So...can away. Here is this summers first bunch...and I am sure there will be

Wheewww! What a CHRISTmas we have had. I know many of you all know about our surpise gift of delivering Caleb almost 9 weeks early on Dec. 22. But I also know that there are many details we just have been too overwhelmed with this to share. So here goes. This journey has been amazing. It is as if the Lord just said "I want to show you more of me. More of why so many things and people are in your lives. Remember...I am the one writing this story and I have always had something greater than you know planned." No kidding! The minute that the doctor said I was dialated to 6 we looked at each other and a flood of crying came...and came...and came. And then thru the tears Aaron's first words were..."Do you like Caleb Anthony?" Yep, we had not fully decided on his name and this was our top pic for a while we just couldn't hammer it down. Absolutely is his name= "COURAGEOUS". When the time came for the last few hours of real hard contractions this time, i
