Update

Hello family and friends!

I'm sorry we've been so absent from our blogging in recent months...  We started doing some renovation projects to our house to get it ready to market for sale and those took longer than expected and we wound up disconnecting our Internet connection altogether.  Then, since we only have a few months until the new house will be completed, we've just never bothered to reconnect the Internet or hook the computer back up.  As it turns out, that was a really cool move because we've converted our office into a play room where Savannah and Thomas can keep their toys and play together.  We have a BLAST in there together!

Regarding the new house, things are progressing nicely...  We've got all the framing completed, the roof is on, all the rough plumbing and electrical is done, and the bath tubs & shower are all in place.  It's looking good and we're really getting excited as we see it all coming together!  This week, we should be getting brick and sheetrock, and then we'll follow that with paint, cabinets, and floor coverings.  We're really seeing a light at the end of the tunnel a LOT faster than we expected to!!!  (Now if we could just hold still long enough to get the rest of the checklist items completed on the old house so we could go ahead and get it listed on the market!!!)

Savannah and Thomas are both doing great. Savannah is learning at exponential speeds and constantly surprises me with all the new things she knows and does. Thomas is a doggone monkey and loves to climb on everything.  I can't believe that he will be a YEAR old in less than a week!  And then, Savannah will be THREE years old in less than three months!!!  Where did the time go???

Anyway, just wanted to check in and let everyone know we haven't fallen off the face of the planet.  We hope you are all well and that God's blessings are as abundant in your lives as He has been in ours lately.
