Backyard

Well, I still haven't taken pictures of the whole house, but I plan to do that soon. Until then, enjoy these pictures of the back yard.

Backyard


Chaucer is growing to like his backyard. I think he really likes that he can go and sit outside without us having to go with him, which means he can do that a lot more. In the back ground is the storage shed with electricity that Tony is really excited about - I think he plans to do manly things in there like build stuff and fix stuff with lots of tools. :)

Moving...

Well, things have been so busy lately. I am finally getting around to updating this blog. I plan to keep it updated more often so friends in KY and family around the country can know what's going on with us.

On June 3rd, Tony and I moved down to Denham Springs, LA (just east of Baton Rouge). Tony was offered the position of Youth Director for First United Methodist Church Denham Springs. So, here we are. We are both very excited about the move, the new job, etc, etc. Of course we are very sad to leave our loving church family and friends in Kentucky. That was the hardest part of all of this.

We are renting a great three bedroom, two bath house here in DS. We actually found this house two days before we moved down here and were being approved to rent it while we were on the road. Thankfully, the Lord allowed all things to go smoothly and we were able to move in right away (at 7:30 pm on the day we got here, after a 13 hour car ride - me with Chaucer and Eastwood in my car, and Tony with his truck and a 12 foot trailor loaded down - to be exact). We are still getting things put away and pictures hung, etc. But once it's all complete I will load lots of pictures. I did mention that there are 3 bedrooms, which means we have a guest room (plus two couches) so vistors are very welcomed and encouraged! :)

Four days after we moved down here, Tony and I took a little trip (4.5 hours) to Florida to spend a little time on the beach and see his dad and family. We were down there for four days. It was a nice time with all. We were able to celebrate our three year wedding anniversary by being on the beach all day and then ended with a great seafood dinner (shrimp and snow crab for me, shrimp and steak for Tony...yum!). The next day was Tony's birthday and so we spent that with his dad and family. It was good too. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera at home, so I don't have any pictures of that. :( But Tony's step-mom, Ily, has enough pictures for us all. :)

So, now we are just adjusting to being back in DS and are finishing up things around the place. Tony mowed the yard today, so everything is looking nice. Look for pictures soon.

Maternity Pictures

A few weeks ago, on May 23, our good friends, Jen and Tom Morton, took maternity pictures for us. We are so blessed to have these and a thankful for their time and work. We love y'all!

I was 30 weeks pregnant when they were taken. These are my favorites.
