We are HOME!!!

-





Well we are finally in our new house...a few boxes still sitting around...lot of pictures still leaning up against walls...a bunch of kids playing everywhere!!!

We love our new place in the "big city" of Knoxville. The kids seemed to adjust so quickly, not really even missing a beat. I was a bit nervous about them. Jeff and I have put them through so many new changes. First we sold our cute blue house in the county and moved in with my parents (they LOVED that), they started a new mom's day out program with new everything, then we left CC and Grandad's house and moved into our new house, and then to top it off the boys got new teachers at "school". They are such troopers!

Our home feels very natural now; almost like we have been here for years except for all the boxes and mess....well I guess we always have messes in this family! We have a back yard that is comparable to any park in the area. There are 6 mature maple trees that give us so much shade. The last owners left their cute playset...how perfect! We have much more room to be a family in this house and I sure hope we get to be here for a long time. (I don't want to move again any time soon!)

So on a much more personal note, God has really been revealing alot to Jeff and I lately. Mostly about the future and our family. Some of the things He is telling us are really exciting and others really make me nervous. He is in control and we are waiting patiently for Him to fully reveal His plan to us. If you think about us, please ask God to give us understanding and an open mind and heart. Loving it!!!

Our precious Piper will be two weeks old tomorrow! So much has changed and yet she has slipped right into our family so perfectly. I will have to write more to tell you what has been going on in our home, but for now enjoy these photos I took of her this morning. I love the simplicity of her holding the pink carnation. So beautifully organic.

We Still Love Eachother

When we were first Married, Jeff's Dad would always ask us if we still love eachother...well we do. This weekend we are celebrating our 6 year anniversery of our first date! I had to show off what Jeff got me because it is so neat. He said it is to help me feed Cooper...but I know he wanted it for himself too. He is very sneaky...hehe. Anyway, I will be enjoying my new Eagle's Nest lounger for a very long time. (If you come to visit us I might let you try it out.)

Day 3: July 28

Today was THE day!  Miley Mengcong Bostrom’s Gotcha day!  We woke up anxiously at 5am and waited until 6:30 before going down to breakfast.  Breakfast was wonderful.  There were all kinds of food we had never had before and some that looked familiar like fruit, sausage, and bacon.   We had to wait until 10:30 until finally getting to meet Miley so we walked around the inside and outside of the hotel.  There is a lap pool that is amazing. We can’t wait to swim in it….maybe tomorrow.  We found a bakery that sells the cutest cakes in the shape of cars or cartoon characters.  We will probably buy one for Miley, because tomorrow is her birthday.  We were mainly trying to waist time… When it was finally time, our guide told one family member come outside and get your new child.  Well that wasn’t going to happen, Jeff and I both went with him….and….we….waited….again!  It was probably one a couple of minutes, but sudde...
