Quote of the day

Emma told me she was hungry this morning. Then I thought I heard her stomach growl and I asked her, "Is your stomach growling?"

Emma-"No, I don't have a bear in my stomach!"

Baby time

Yes, if you did not know we are expecting!! Ten weeks and one day along. I included the pregnancy calendar there because it is such a miracle to me to see the baby, and what it looks like now. I showed Emma earlier and she was amazed. She wanted me to show Garrett also, but I was not able to even get him to stop to look at the computer.

Home update

Just a quick update. We are now living in a home with a wonderful family from our church. It is nice to be in a house again. Emma and Garrett are very content and that makes it much easier for me. We were able to order our house last week and it will be shipped from Worthington, MN the first week in August. It is a modular home, so it will come in two halves and then have to be put together when it gets here. We paid the money for our garage today and they will order the supplies for it and, will be able to start building that on site once the house is in place. Sounds like we should be able to move in close to the end of August.

Fun at Caleb and Sharon's





We have spent the past few days at Caleb and Sharon's, we had a b-day party for Emma tonight. We have had fun seeing the sights of Ft. Collins and spending time with aunts, uncles, and Grandma and Grandpa. Then tomorrow morning we will head back to Minnesota while Rob is at Camp Gurnsey in Wyoming for the next two weeks.

New things



Here is a picture of our new pickup, just bought today and our temporary home. We had wanted to get a new pickup before Rob is deployed next year, if you knew Rob with his pick-up, then you would know it was hard for him to let it go. But we had to do something since our van is not the best at getting through snow, or up snowy hills, and in Casper they do not plow roads when it snows, only the main ones. We wanted to have 4x4 that we could all fit into. That was a big reason into selling our home now too, not the snow, but Rob's pending deployment with the National Guard to Kuwait next year. It will be nice to get all of that done this year and be able to enjoy our time up until the time he leaves, next April or May. When we put our house on the market and it was sold in five days and we closed last Friday, which was just under a month from when we put it on the market, but now we are able to buy our land soon and get our home ordered. So until our home is ready to go we are in an RV, the kids are really enjoying it, I have been working a little extra and then we are all able to get out and get some space and that helps a lot. I think Rob and Emma just took off for a ride in the new pick-up...
