We're On The Road

We're 273 miles from Gainesville, heading for Texas! Jenee, Jolie and Linda left yesterday and arrived safely.

Dad and I are motoring along at 65mph, and I can tell you the truck and trailer are heavy!



Gainesville was so good to us, we're sad to leave all our friends behind. Jenee and I already miss all of you. We will be back to visit soon, promise!

Please pray for our safety on the road, "people are crazy".

It's Moving Day Eve

Well, the time is almost here. Our home is packed up and we are ready to roll. Gainesville has been a wonderful place for me to get experience in a world class research facility, Jenee and I to start our marriage and also start our family, and now we're ready to see what God has lined up for us next.

I know you are all busting to see more pictures of Jolie, and they are coming. I made a promise to Kayla that I would post more so I will do everything in my power to do so by the weekend.

Please keep us in your prayers, Jenee and Linda are flying with Jolie in the next day or so and Dad (Paul) and myself are driving the distance with the trailer loaded up and the two cats on Wednesday.

See you all on the other side of the trip!

A Beautiful Little Thing

So ty-ord. So asleep. Don't wake up just yet (please).

He's waiting for a tasty morsel to pass by for lunch.

Having A Lot of Fun!

14 Days Old

I can hardly believe it, our little girl is 14 days old. In fact yesterday was her due date, but here we are, changing diapers, not following routines and giving so much joy!

The last few days have been tough on Jenee and I. Jolie has been a little fussy at night, keeping us up until 4am. Jenee is such a patient mom, and she so lovingly cares for the little girl. It's been a little challenging for us as we learn to adjust for her needs, but it's something we so happily do.

Jolie has been putting on weight, and we can already see the changes in her, she's still little, but not little-little. She's definitely more alert, responding to our voices as well as loud noises around the house. And we're seeing her eyes more too. Of course we're all wondering whose eyes she has (color).

Well, I only have a few minutes left before the circus starts up again, so I am going to catch 40 winks.

Marble is feeling a little left out and in need of some love. Thank goodness for Grandmas.
