Until next time...

So we've been crazy busy the last two weeks and actually we are still right in the middle of another crazy two weeks. We did, with an enormous amount of help from family and a few friends, get our new home painted, cleaned, lawn mowed, bugs sprayed and everything moved. So now we are happily unpacking the loads of boxes, wondering how we ever fit this much in to our little three bed apartment, and still feeling pretty overwhelmed by it all (sealing the deal with our VA loan has been a nightmare this time and we haven't even closed yet!) but it's okay because when the dust settles it will all be worth it.

The girls are already soooo much happier and I think Ben is too. It is like a dark cloud has been lifted off our family and we are so ready to start living the rest of our lives. The Lord has truly blessed us. Ben's health has actually been remarkably well lately and we look forward in the next few months to being able to have a little more freedom to have visitors and take him out, slowly of course. He is going in for surgery in the next week and a half to have a G-tube placed in his stomach which hopefully will help his feeding struggles a little.

Unfortunately we don't have the internet hooked up at our new home yet (not sure when or if we will) so I don't know how soon I'll be able to post again. I'll really miss being able to check up on all my buds and seeing what is happening in your lives. So everyone out there remember that I won't be checking up on you and seeing all your cute pictures so you'll have to call me and let me know what is happening. And even though we've moved a little further away, don't be a stranger, it really isn't that far and you sort of get used to the brine shrimp smell after a while!

Over and Out...Ü

YEAH!!!! So good to hear some good news. I am so glad the move went well and Ben is still doing well. Wow, some freedom to finally have vistors will be great. I am sorry I've been a horrible friend. I really did want to bring you dinner. I hope you can forgive me. I do have the present still and really want Benji to have it. So whenever you get the internet let me know your address or I will call. I am so glad things are going well, you guys totally deserve it. Can't wait to see pics of the new place. love ya.
