Christmas 09

We had a great Christmas in Nebraska this year. Our celebration started a few days early due to a storm that was to arrive but it decided to head east and south instead. It was good to spend a few extra days with Dad. We were in Grant for three days and then headed to Gothenburg to celebrate with Mom for a couple days. There was a lot of laughter and good times and of course the kids brought home more toys than ever needed :)

Our little apartment

We are all moved in and made ourselves a little home here in Denver. We have really enjoyed our new lives so far. Its quiet and spending time with one another is always a good thing. Here are a few photos of our apartment ;)

December 2009

We have made our move to Colorado. Our new address is 9959 East Peakview Ave #G102, Englewood CO 80111. We have so much gratitude for our loved ones who helped get us moved. We couldnt have done it ourselves thats for sure!! The apartment we have chosen has turned out to fit us quite nicely. It already feels like home... a cozy little home. It was tough to say goodbye to our California life but visits will happen several times a year and we think this move will be fruitful for our lives. These are photos of the saying goodbye to the Lakes and hello to the Lees.

Halloween

Sophie was a little ladybug and Elijah was a frog. We went to a little even downtown Clovis. The kids are really too young to get into it but it was fun to see them in their costumes.

Busy November

We have already had a busy November and we are only half way through!! Adam and I sold our home and were able to go to Denver to rent an apartment for a few months. We are planning our big move to Denver the weekend of Thanksgiving. Please pray for travel mercies and great weather.
Sophie celebrated her 2nd birthday!! She is getting more and more fun as her little personality develops. There are times when she reminds me of myself and I wonder how we are going to work when she turns 16!! But not to count my chickens too fast, right :) I am so thankful I am able to stay home and not miss a day of her experiencing the world and trying out new words. She has quite the imagination as she plays with her tea set and babies.
Elijah is now six months and so chubby. I love his little rolls and his smile is something else. He is definitely a mamas boy and you wont hear a word of complaint from me. I love snuggling with him and just having him close. He has a pretty laid back personality so it works with the chaos that is our lives right now.

Home for sale

And here we are in the beginning of October, planning on a move to Denver. Adam was offered a new job to begin in late December. Our home is for sale and we are leaning on the Lord and praying for provision and guidance. Times like these are all tough on the self but so great for our relationship with the Lord. I am learning to put what I have read in His Word and learned from other believers into action in my life. It is increasing my faith and love for Him and making Him more and more alive in my life.

Little Oodies Wedding

My youngest brother, Mathew, got married in Riviera Maya in September. It was quite the trip but as you can see, a beautiful wedding. His wife, Leslie, was a breath taking bride. Of course her fun personality added so much to the beauty. After the reception, they all jumped in the pool with their suits and dresses on!! What a bunch of crazies. I had a great time with Mom and Mel and Elijah ;well my whole family. Adam and Josh were unable to join us. Someone had to stay home and make the money :)
