Yes, we are still alive and in fact doing well :). The Lord has been very merciful to us as we have transitioned to life in a new state. Our new house is starting to feel like home now. Besides unpacking, we've found a new church where we are making friends. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming and we are thankful for the ministry of the Word and for the presence of God's people in the places we move to. We've also have been worked on our garden and are getting ready for chickens for eggs. Chad is getting settled in at work in his new job and we're adjusting to his work schedule. We have a lot more room for the kids to spread out on (3 acres) so that has been fun with lots of trees and even wildlife. So far we've seen: fireflies, raccoons, lots of rabbits, and deer. Anna even found a nest of 4 baby bunnies in our garden. She has also caught several toads and frogs...she is braver than I. Our internet and computer set up is different here so uploading pictures is not as easy but we are working on finding a way to make it easier, and we have taken a lot so hopefully we can get those up soon. We dearly miss our church where we just moved from and we have rejoiced to get text messages, cards and letters from them since arriving here! We are even anticipating a visit from a family whom we love dearly later this month...wow, we are incredibly blessed! More to come...
