....less limbo than yesterday....

we're partially moved...mostly thrilled that the big part of moving is done... and so thankful for amazing friends that aided in the moving process and letting us move into their home! we had manly muscles come do lots of heavy lifting... the appliance dolly was a HUGE asset too :)

we're not done yet.. but getting there...

the nutt-house is moving!

we'd sure appreciate your prayers! we are moving out of our duplex into our good friend's daylight basement. we've run into some mold issues in our present rental and it simply can no longer be ignored. so in the next 2 weeks we plan to get ourselves moved ... part of our stuff to our friend's and the rest of the stuff to a storage unit.

please join us in prayer as the kids adjust to the new living situation and also that we'd be patient as we wait on the LORD to provide the right place for us to rent or buy.

This pic was taken during Josiah's baby dedication on Dec. 16th. He was making everyone laugh in the congregation! Our children's pastor even had to say "hey, pay attention to me!" LOL Josiah would GRIN at him and then sober up, look him over, and then GRIN again. He had everyone in stitches. He then tried to grab the mic (as you can see in this pic) and as one of our sound tech guys said, "he's goin' after the mic, just like his momma."

We dedicated Josiah James on Sunday, December 16th.
Afterwards we had Grandma Pat take our family picture.
Amazingly enough we got a pretty good one!! :)

pic before church today.

Noah playing peekaboo with Josiah

The lighting is horrid... but turn on your speakers! I promise he's NOT crying. Josiah is cracking up to Noah! It was SO cute!

My girlfriend made the cutest gingerbread men for a bunch of her girls under her in MOPS. She made a set for us too :) There were enough gingerbread men for each family member and the frosting and toppings too!! Today we sat around and decorated them. The top left is Eric's, middle top is Micah's, followed by the top right which is mine. The bottom left is Carissa's, the middle is the tree that we all helped put the decorations on, and the bottom right is Noah's. Josiah's gingerbread man didn't get decorated, as you can see the other's lavishly decorated theirs!! LOL

Our Christmas Tree Search

Some pics from our day :)

I got my hair cut today. This pic doesn't really give show it off real well (the layers and such) BUT it'll do for now b/c my camera batteries died on me!!! It's layered shorter in the back :) It feels great and i love it!!!

brothers and buds

Noah and Josiah hanging out together!! :) Aren't they the sweetest??? *happy sigh* :)

Josiah is starting to sit up like a BIG boy! What you don't see is my first 2 attempts when he wasn't sitting infront of the chair. By the time I had him situated and had the camera and had him grinning he was tipping backwards! LOL So, momma got smart and put him infront of the big chair!! :) He's just 6 1/2 months old and doing really great. He's starting to scooch himself around, mostly in circles but it won't be long until he's crawling everywhere. Then another whole level of clean will have to be introduced again! (wink... sweeping that kitchen floor more often!) He generally thinks anything in his reach is fair game, which of course makes meal time so much fun... NOT! I just can't believe how fast the last 6 months have gone!!!
