Updates...

Well, we have a new computer on the way to our house! Yahoo! That means you'll be seeing photos very soon of what our life has been like lately. We have managed in the midst of this transition to take a few pictures to remember it by later. Whew.

Now for a few updates...

1. I had another ultrasound last week of our little boy, and the cyst they had seen a couple months ago is GONE! We are so thankful! This little boy is quite the active one, too! I'll make sure to post a photo of my ever growing stomach soon.

2. Chris is still on the job search. He has had a couple promising interivews, and we are waiting to hear back. He has also had his fair share of ding letters, too. We are doing our best to be hopeful as Chris works hard making contacts, sending out resumes, and praying A LOT.

3. Cole is 18 months old now, almost 19. He's CRAZY! He sings Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star with me, and he is learning how to say words with me in books as we read. I am constantly SHOCKED. One of our favorite things to do is sit on the bench on our front porch after Cole's nap and have a snack while we wait for the mailman to deliver our mail. The mail delivery people walk in our neighborhood, so it makes their day when Cole spots them down the street and yells, "Mailman! HI!" Wow, we are so blessed with such an amazing kid. We're really starting to look forward to Blank Frank #2's arrival in a couple months.

4. Our house is shaping up SO nicely! We have new landscaping, and we finally have unpacked every box. We're waiting on new interior doors and windows that are coming this week, then we'll be free of workmen for a VERY LONG TIME! We don't have anything hung on the walls yet, and we don't have every cabinet Cole-proofed..uggg...but we're getting there. Stay tuned for photos!

5. Cole and I baked pumpkin, star, and moon shaped cookies last weekend. I LOVE to bake, so doing this made me feel like we're really home. We were able to share the cookies with our neighbors who have been so helpful to us, too, which was great.

I think that's it for updates right now. I promise to post pictures very soon. Thanks for hanging in there with us!
