God Answers Prayer

Look what happened at 11 o'clock tonight. What a relief! After 45 days on the market, we got a great offer tonight from a couple and accepted without a counter. It exceeded our expectations. The Lord is good. Now comes the hard part, finding something else. Please keep us in prayer as we finalize everything and continue our search for a new home or place to build.

What We've been up to...

We are not doing so great at keeping this blog updated so I am going to just make this a variety post. The biggest part of our time is spent keeping the house and yard clean at all times as we show the house several times each week. There are a few families that have been back multiple times and show a lot of interest. No offers yet though. There is someone coming to look again tonight that sounds like it could result in an offer. They have been through several times now. We haven't found a house that we think would work for us yet,(we are being a little picky) so if ours does sell we may just rent for a while. We are talking about building but haven't made any final decisions yet.


Summer is finally here and the kids are anxious to keep a busy schedule. They are always asking first thing in the morning what the plan is for the day. I took them to the water park yesterday and they had a great time. It is so much easier now. The boys spent their time at the diving board and lap swimming and Meryn spent her time in the smaller kids pool with her friends. She can't quite reach everywhere so she likes to keep her life jacket on. That makes my job a lot easier.


Trevin is playing machine pitch baseball and has his first game on Tuesday. He is doing a good job and really enjoys it. This is his first year to play baseball.


Brendon and Caleb have decided to try something new this summer. They are going to do the Salty Pup Triathlon. It is for kids 15 and under. They will swim 100 meters, bike 4.2 miles, Run 1 mile. This is August 9th for all you cousins that want to come join them:).


We plan on making several camping trips this summer and a trip to San Antonio. So that should help take up some of the long days.

Trevin

Trevin had cowboy day at school, so we had to go get him a hat and bandanna. He was just upset we didn't get him boots also.

His class did a community project last week. All the second graders went to some apartments for people who have become homeless and need emergency housing. They planted lots of flowers in several different areas. He loved getting dirty as usual. When we drove away he told me that we were really lucky that we had a home to live in and how he felt sorry for those people that may not. He has a big heart and loves to always help out so I know this was an eye-opening experience for him.

I took him for a physical yesterday and he is catching his brothers. He is in the 50% percentile. I think he will pass them both up the way he is growing. He is such a fun happy boy, who is always making us laugh. He is playing machine pitch baseball and loving it.
