On the road again...

The movers are arriving tomorrow morning and we're not ready. They just called to say that they need more time to pack us so they're coming tomorrow instead of on Thursday morning like originally planned. I'm not panicking - yet! God has it all worked out and He knows what needs to be done when so I guess I'll just get done what I can tonight and worry about the rest later, or at least before Friday when the truck pulls away from our house here and heads to the new place in PA. I praise God for working everything out like He always does, that's how we know it's His will. We can't make these things happen nor do I think we would choose to. Moving is no easy job but when He's leading it, it does go fairly smoothly. We'd appreciate your prayers as we transition to a new area once again. Each move requires finding a new church home, new friends, finding our way around, new doctors, new hairstylist =), and organizing yet another house. It'll all come together in His timing.

Bike rides

We love to go on bike rides and even though mommy can't ride a bike right now, it's not stopping Anna, Daddy, and Audrey from enjoying a ride. I walk and they ride circles around me. :) Audrey loves the bike trailer just like Anna did. It's been a great investment!

Swim lessons

Anna started swim lessons on Monday and has made incredible progress since then. It's an intense program, only 8 days, but they promise your child will be swimming by the end. The videos below are proof that she's swimming all by herself and it's only day 4. They push the kids hard, not allowing crying and they make them get in and go under whether they want to or not. But, they're not mean about it and after the kids are exposed to it and face their fear of the water, they do really well. It's sometimes hard to watch but the videos are proof that it works. She has a great instructor for which we are very thankful!

Anna is 5!

Hard to believe Miss Anna is now 5 years old! My goodness how time flies! She is such a big helper and sweet companion but I do miss my baby girl. She'll be starting Kindergarten in the fall and that will be hard for mommy although she's very ready. We celebrated her birthday at the beach but she wasn't feeling 100%. The poor girl had come down with a fever virus a few days into our vacation and thankfully she did pretty well as long as she was medicated. We decorated our hotel room and took some of her gifts with us so that we can could celebrate her birthday away from home. She loved having the hotel room decorated and enjoyed her special day. We played on the beach, in the pool, and then went out for dinner to a pizzeria and then to play games at an arcade which she loved. She had a full day of fun!
