We're moving in more ways than one!
We've heard that blogspot is blocked in our new country so we're moving to straight2lepoint.wordpress.com
Please follow us over there!
We love you!

Shreveport, LA

We arrived in Shreveport on Tuesday the 29th.  It's been a crazy time!  Elisha arrived sick so we spent the first couple days trying to keep him happy.  He had a virus and a mild ear infection.  We knew we wanted to get that ear clear before our next flight!  We did learn that no matter how bad Eli feels he's never too sick to flirt.  He could be crying one minute and smiling and tilting his head at a lady the next! :)  He is feeling much better now and we are all enjoying him.  Yesterday after naps he sat in the front yard and waved to all the cars passing by Gramma Joy's house.
Lillian has had good days and bad days since we arrived here.  Seeing friends and family has been sweet but I think it also reminds her that it's not for long and she's been sad (that presents itself in many forms, most of them ugly).
Yesterday was wonderful as we had the chance to worship with Bruce's family and our home fellowship.  They loved on us and we were affirmed in our setting out on this adventure!
The evening was finished by meeting an old friend in the parking lot and talking for over an hour!  Thank you Sherry for hunting us down!  We love you.

Enjoy these pics we took before church.  God has spoiled us with this weather in Shreveport!

I'm horrible at this picture taking thing but I tried.
Bruce is much better!

Learning New Things at Grandmas

Eli has discovered many more things to get into this time at Grandmas.
1.  He ate dog food :) and the dog bone.

2.  He really wants to touch the fan.
3.  He keeps trying to stoke the fire in the woodstove.
4.  He's climbing the steps!

5.  He really likes hanging with Logan.

It's a ...

BOY!!!

We were thrilled to find out we are having a boy on Wednesday!  Even more exciting that Mom, Marce, and Jodie got to see the baby as well!  Lillian was set on having a sister but took the news well.  She put her head in her hands for a minute and then announced his name will be "Beast."

DC Trip

remembering where we've been... 

a hole in the wall where we found lunch.

we paid a quarter to potty at McDs.

impossible to get them both looking!

We had such great weather to be in Washington DC on Thursday.  The kids were great, Lillian walked most of the day!  We rode the metro, tried new foods and met as many people as we could.

Reunited at last...

We were blessed to be able to visit with Melissa while she was in VA.  Melissa and her husband, Rick, served with us in Port Sulphur, LA.  Melissa is one of Lillian's favorite people!  Yay for good friends.



Shot Clinic #3

This shot clinic was the final one!!!!  Lillian only had one shot so that was good.  Poor Eli had FOUR!  But tears dried up quickly when we got to the after clinic party!
