Getting ready...

Just a little update...
We will be hopping on a plane in less than 6 days! Yep, soon we will be making the big hop over the Atlantic ocean to Europe!!! Good golly that sounds crazy!

We have been soooo much enjoying our time in Texas...the Lord has blessed us so much with our loving friends and family and not to mention incredibly beautiful weather! Hooray!

Noah is getting sooo big..he's discovering more and more each day how much he loves his fingers! Ha....and he smiles and makes noises like crazy. It's great.

Here are just a few pics...





Did I mention he loves his blue bumbo seat...its so fantastic. and ...this kid drools so much lately, everyone has been wondering if he is teething already! So far, no teeth.

Wish us luck...and keep us in your prayers as we prepare for this huge move!! Ah! Sometimes I still can't believe we are really going!

So much updating...

Howdy all!
There is so much to say and so many pictures to post. As you may have guessed, we have been super busy the last few weeks. We made it safely to San Antonio, with a wonderful short visit in College Station. We are having so much fun spending time with friends and family, it is going to be so hard to leave!
Just a quick recap over the last few weeks...

*Jon graduated from EOBC

*We had a short visit in College Station...we got to spend time with some of our close friends from church...We love yall!...and I arranged a surprise dinner for Jon with his fish from the corp(just ask if you dont understand)

*We have officially met the herd of cows that Jon's parents have out at their ranch, affectionately called "Milagro"...I found out that cow tongues are really slimy and rough like sand paper

*Zoo trip with my mom and sister...super fun!

I have soooo many pictures to update....but unfortunately right now all I have on our new computer is the zoo pics...so I will get all the other pics up asap. Run your mouse over the picture for a caption...

Isn't Noah getting big!!!

Lil one is almost 3 months!

Just thought I would post a few of my favorite pictures of Noah.







He's getting so big, he likes to imitate what we do, or try to. He is getting so smiley and giggly and it just makes our heart smile.

We just have 3 more days in Missouri!

Texas here we come....and I couldn't be happier to be coming back!

Tornado Warnings, Hailstorms, and movers...

Strange happenings lately. By the end of last week we were preparing for the movers to come on Friday...and Thursday night found us in the middle of our hallway preparing for Tornadoes!!! Which was weird considering that the majority of the evening was sunny and somewhat warm.

Ha, if you know me at all, you know that I am terrified of bad weather, especially tornadoes...however, it seemed so bizarre I don't think I was even freaking out, it didn't seem like it was actually happening. We heard the sirens going off...and then the hail!!! Here's some crazy pictures...I had never seen hail like this before...and the best part of all is that it only lasted just about 30 minutes, then you could see the sun setting.





Sadly, we didnt get pictures of me in my shorts playing with the hail after the storm..that was fun! Anyone ever bit into a giant piece of hail? Me neither, so Jon suggested I try...I admit, it was pretty cool looking on the inside:)

On another note...



The movers came on Friday...so all our belongings are now well on their way to Germany! We are currently living in temporary housing, which is just like a big fancy hotel room, with a small kitchen and separate bedroom and living area. I am actually quite comfortable because it's small and there isn't much cleaning to do.:) Jon only has a week and a half left of training then we are still hopefully heading to Texas!!

And for the rest of this week,...we are under flash flood warnings...this Missouri weather is bizarre...!
