American football :)

so the social worker never came yesterday...

BUT...

we had a mean game of soccer...

Erik ate bisquits and sausage gravy for the first time...

and our kids played from 4-8 in the pouring rain

and thought it was the best thing ever!!

today we've been to the ER already

(no not one of ours... James had a sinus infection)...

we've been to the mall to have spagetti (Erik's fav)...

and we are now cooking tacos and brownies

(yes i am SO thankful for all that packing)!!

a little while ago Erik went to join a game of American football...

i wonder if football and tacos are too much in one day??

i'll let you know soon :)

we are continuing to adjust to our new surroundings...

the girls still do not like the idea of open windows at night...

the heat here is definitly not good on the hair or complexion...

and there is no tv :) 

washing dishes in cold water is not the norm...

and hot showers are missed...

i'm very thankful for the Kennedy's washer and dryer...

and ipads are the bomb...

i never expected that bug spray would be the new perfume...

and that cooking could be such an adventure...

i've never enjoyed rain so much...

and room temp water... well i've convinced myself it's awesome!!

this is definitly a new way of living for our family...

but honestly i am LOVING

the close quarters

and constant time together...

its been a blast to share this experience together as a family!!

i am certainly coming to terms with how

much stuff we could do without

and be perfectly content!!

in it all...

 the most important thing is...

we see God in every turn, difficulty and new sunrise...

we couldn't do any of it it without Him!

we continue to convet your prayers...

you are certainly here with us!

God knows the plans, we are just along for the ride!!

will update you again soon :)
