THE NEW HOUSE IN ST. JOE

This is the new home we found in St. Joseph, MO. It has been a stressful process since we had come to an offer agreement on another house and as we were signing the papers they accepted another offer and we were out of luck. We are happy in the end with finding this home, but the process can be a killer on the nerves. We will hopefully be in by the first week in April since the buyers of our house have no respect for school ending in a a few weeks later. Miki will survive, but it is hard to leave friends right before school gets out.

Happy Birthday Chase!

I can't believe Chase is two! We had a fun little family party yesterday and had a lot of fun. Chase was so funny. It was funny anytime anyone would say Happy Birthday he would say "to you." I think one of his favorite things was blowing out the candles! He loved it, I had to light the candles 3 or 4 times so that he could do it over and over. Grandma gave him a shirt that says "Warning I make messes" I think that they made this for my Chase! He is definatly and active little boy. We almost have him saying "2" instead of "3" when you ask him how old he is. He says 2 about half the time now....making progress. I am sure he will be three before we know it. It is amazing how these little people just melt your heart.

YEAH!!!

It has finally happened, we sold our house!!! It has been a very crazy and surreal week. Chad is so excited that come April 5th when he drives to work it won't take an hour and fifteen minutes. We are excited that we will now get to spend a lot more time together as a family! We don't know where we are going to live yet, but we should be able to figure that out this week. We have been waiting for this day for a year now and it sure feels good! Thanks to all of you for your many prayers.
