Prayer Requests and Updates

The boys have been fighting illness off and on since we arrived. I have been told by someone who lives here that the first year is the hardest because your body is getting use to its new envirnoment and we should except to get sick several times. Please pray that we would be able to fight off this sickness and that I would be able to take care of the boys and myself. Please continue to pray for the selling of the house. The sell of the house is suppose to close on the 12th of October. We are really hoping that it does so that we can get into our own house. We have found a house that we would like to buy. Please also pray that if it is the Lord's will that we would be able to buy this house. My mom is still hurting in her neck and I have been having pain in my right hip. We have been going to a new chiropractor and they have been working to get us back into adjustment, but we are experiencing alot of pain. Please pray that we would be healed and that the pain will soon lessen. Paul has been acting up and it has been hard on me to know what to do. Please pray that the Lord will show Joshua and I the right steps we need to take in disciplining Paul. The shop has not been doing to well lately. We were getting excited about the increase of sells, but it has slowen down alot. Please pray that the Lord's hand will be with us and that we would continually trust in Him to provide for all our needs. Thank you to all of those who have been praying for us as we have been going through this adventure.

Another Beautiful Sunset

I am sorry if you are getting tired about the sunsets. There is just something beautiful about a sunset. I love the fact that God put something in the sky to show us how special we are and how to relax from a busy day. I love the Mountains being in the background.

Solo Restaurant

Yesterday Joshua and I went on a date by ourselves while my mom, dad, and sister watched the boys. Usually we take Peter with us where ever we go, so this was quite a treat. We have been wanting to go to this one restaurant that was built around an airplane. We stopped by once, but have not been able to go to it. The airplane that is in the restaurant is called the "princess." We had a wonderful time just the two of us and took lots of pictures. The website for the restaurant is http://www.solosrestaurant.com/, if you are interested in seeing it.These are views of it from the front entrance.These are some more views from around the building.Here are some views from inside the restaurant.Here are some pictures of inside the plane.This picture is of a guy that would be working on the plane when it was used. This plane was used for refueling other planes and that's what this guy was doing.We had to wait when we arrived because a huge tour group got there before us. This is our "boarding pass" for when we were to be seated. On the back was a little history about the airplane and on the front it said that we were going to Italy. It stuck us very funny because we have talked about going to Europe and especially Italy because that were all the famous violin makers came from! We had a great time and hope to be able to eat there again (but maybe not too soon because it was expensive). It was great to just be the two of us.

Welcome Fall

Fall has been my favorite season. I love looking at all the different color that the leaves change as well as the cooler weather. The trees are just beautiful and I can't wait to see fall in its fullest. Here are some pictures of the trees changing.

Miniature Golf

Today my sister and I went to the shop early to spend sometime with the family and so we could go do something about everyone got off work. There is a miniature golf place right next to where we work and we decide to play a round and then order pizza. Paul loved it! This was his first time and he had so much fun (of course with Daddy's help). The weather was cool, but warm. We enjoyed our family time together. Peter was a little fuzzy and grandma had to hold him (and she just hated that). We had a nice time relaxing. Here are some pictures and some movies of our adventure.

Just A Touch Of Paint

I attempted to continue my Christmas presents today. It is very hard to be artistic with two little boys. Sometimes I am amazed at what I am able to accomplish during the day. Paul has been joining me on my adventure. He painted my arm.He even painted his hands.He painted his face.He must have thought that paint was to eat because the first time he painted with me, he put the paint brush in his mouth. I was shocked. I called Joshua to see what I should do and he said not to worry (it was water based). He went around for the rest of the day with a yellow mouth and lips!He even painted on his clothes. Needless to say, at first I was surprised, then I started laughing. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did.

What's Happening

I am sorry that I have not written in a while. We have been very busy with the shop, boys, and looking for a house. We have not been up to too much (or at least anything new to share). The weather has been nice here. So different than what we are use to for September. Everyone who lives here is enjoying it, but we are on the cold side because it has been in the 60's or 70's during the day and 40's during the night. We actually had to go shopping yesterday because we needed some new WARM clothes. It will be interesting to see how winter is. Here are some pictures of the boys and some movies.
