Sunday Afternoon

I love peaceful Sunday afternoons. Church is lovely, and then we can come home and just be together. Makes me happy.

Restoring Honor Event

Today was Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor event. It was available live at facebook.com/restoringhonor. It was simply amazing! I don't know if it will be available for later viewing. I hope so.

Cute Kids!

My dad took this cute picture of Joshua and Janie while I was taking Adam to school for his "Meet the Teacher" day. (I took it from his blog, rustytripod.blogspot.com.) I really like how it turned out, even if it does make my Janie look like such a big girl. Love those kids!

What a day!

Adam's first day of Kindergarten! He loved it. We missed him.


Adam waving goodbye as his class is led to their classroom. Please note the darling girl in the pink vest in the older class to the right: that is Adam's cousin Hannah. We saw her, and her brother Vinson, a couple of times today at school. I love that.

And last, but not least, check out Janie's new trick:

She started doing this last night. Pretty cool, hey? Notice how she claps for herself at the end. What a cutie!

Joshua is doing great too, by the way. He is working on getting potty-training this week (took the day off today, though) and he's doing really well with it. He missed Adam today. It will be an adjustment for him to be the oldest one at home, but I think it will be good for him.

We sure love these sweet children of ours!

House Update

Well, folks....
We closed on our house on Friday, which also happens to be John's birthday! It was a great birthday present for him. Moved in most of our big stuff yesterday (Saturday), and now we just have to pack and move boxes little by little. There are also a few minor repairs to be made. Thank goodness for a handyman husband who can do that kind of thing! Hopefully we'll be over there for good by next week. Hurray!
The house is in an older (but still nice) neighborhood in Mesa. We really like it, and are so grateful that we could find such a wonderful house in a good location that we can afford. We have been really blessed with how well everything has worked out, and are just in awe that it worked out how it did.
I don't have any pictures of the house right now so I'm not going to post any, but if you would like to come over and see it (in a couple of weeks), e-mail or call us and we'll be glad to have you!
