Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Friends! I thought I would update the blog because I have a few minutes before going to pick up Sadie. I know that I need to be adding new pictures but I am in the computer lab right now, so I will add more later!
We are spending Thanksgiving away from family this year, so please be praying for them as we are away. We are thankful to be spending it with our dear friends here. Tomorrow morning we will start out with a time of worship and truly praise our Father for all that He is giving us. What a sweet time that will be, one that I hope that we can make a tradition in our family for years to come!
I went to the doctor concerning my stomach problems and things are working themselves out! I am sure being in a new environment and all of the changes that we have had to make has caused my stomach to not process food quite as easy! So, all of that to say, things are going okay, just got a lot to work through but I am on the upside, PTL!
Other than that, please pray for rest over the next few days. I seem to truly be exhausted and we just need to rest. Maybe it won't be physical rest, but ask that we can rest in the Lord.
We love you guys and are so thankful to have a time of learning and so much transition as we head out.
Sorry my words are short, I wish that I had more to say, but nothing is coming to me!
So...Happy Thanksgiving, may you find your hope in the Lord!!!

2nd tooth!

Sadie got her second tooth today!! She has been fussy all week long and now it has finally shown it's way through! I know that you all might not care too much, but I needed to "record" it somewhere since I left my baby book at mom's house...so hey, why not put it on the blog, right?? :)
Things here are going well, staying busy...last week was a hard week, having lots of stomach issues. Won't get into it on the blog, but please be praying for me that God would give us the wisdom to know what the next step is, because it's just not normal down there and we need to get this figured out before going across the big pond!
I am off to bed, it's late...just wanted to say hello!

Couple Pictures from Williamsburg


Sweet Sadie





I thought I would take some time tonight and just share with you what Sadie has been up to! So, the fastest way that I know to share it with you is in list form. I say fastest because she has to eat soon!!

1) Speaking of eating, Sadie is getting quite good at this! She enjoys her rice cereal in the evening and boy let me tell you, if she doesn't get it fast enough, she has a little shrill that will hurt your eardrums!!!
2) She doesn't like squash. As much as I have tried to get her to like it, she just doesn't. She lets out a wail and pushes it out of her mouth! She does like green beans and sweet potatoes! Again, if I don't do it fast enough, here comes the shrill!! Next up on the menu for the next few weeks are carrots and pears so we shall see!
3) She loves to eat her feet!
4) She can now officially roll over!!!! :) YAY!!
5) She loves to play in her johnny jumper. She bounces up and down and really loves to do it on one foot. But after about 20 minutes, you better find something new, she is tired of it!
6) She loves to hear her daddy make funny noises. When he laughs really deep, she opens her eyes really wide and just stares at him!
7) She loves to be carried in daddy's arms, not sure if it's the height thing or what but she sure does love it!
8) She loves to kick back and put her feet on the tray of the stroller. It is so funny to watch!
9) She LOVES being outside and the wind blowing on her face!
10) She loves to smile at the other moms who are nursing at the same time as I am. (During our class time, I leave to go nurse her in a room with other moms) She seems to want to know everything that is going on and can't stand for something to happen without her knowing!
11) She loves to chew on EVERYTHING!!
12) In the last weeks Sadie has held her first boy's hand! Like her mother, she is going for an older guy! (He is 6 months old!)
13) She loves bath time with Daddy. You can hear her from the other room letting out squeals and splashing in the water, it's so much fun to hear!!
14) She has never met a stranger! She will smile at anyone, older people in Walmart love her!!
15) She has the sweetest personality but buddy when she is hungry you better watch out!!!
16) She loves to watch Baby Einstein, although we don't let her watch it too often!
17) She has the cutest sack she sleeps in, Clark calls her a sack of potatoes!
18) Sadie is super ticklish, she is just now laughing really hard when you tickle her.
19) Sadie has tons of little friends around here. Everytime we take her outside in the stroller, you can hear all of the kids say, "SADIE!!" and of course she gives them her cute grin!
20) And last, Clark and I love this little Sadiebug so very much and we couldn't imagine life without her!!!
