A new beginning

It has been a long long while since I've blogged.  I always have these grand expectations for myself... I will blog every week, or I will blog twice a month....  Well... yeah.  Life happens, and nothing "blogworthy," just plain old messy life with a toddler and a baby.  :-) But, I'm back.  And this time, I WILL blog regularly.  Maybe not every week... but, I'll give it my best shot.

This week is bringing a lot of changes to our little world.  Daniel is moving to Mozambique!!  And we are SO excited.  He is going over to build the house that we will all live in when we go!  So, he's leaving monday (July 15), and we'll be here for a while on our own.  The girls and I are going to head over Aug 16, with my sister as a traveling companion (for the crazy woman with two babies).  We can't wait! 
 


Hannah, our sweet girl will be two on Sunday!  Where does the time go??  She's an energetic toddler, and just where she taps her energy from, I don't know.  I only wish I could share some of it, some days!  Hannah loves to run and play outside.  Her current favorite things are: ballet, dancing, Curious George, her friends Asher and Gideon, pushing her sister in the stroller, to name a few.  She is turning into a big helper!  Hannah daily picks out toys and tells me that she wants to bring THOSE toys to "beek" (Mozambique).  She's definitely got her pile of go and take sorted out.  :-)  She is really excited to go on the "A-me-ane" in the "sty" to "beek" to see Daddy and "Inga" (Jacinta), and talks about it multiple times a day.  



Our sweet Lydia is six months old, and she just started crawling.  She definitely gets around.  She is a very determined girl.  Her little personality is very laid back, and she puts up with a lot of "love" from her big sister.  She has a ready smile, and a big laugh.  She is very social, and will choose people over sleep 9 times out of 10, which has made napping difficult for her.  But, she is generally a good sleeper.  She has made friends with all the mamas and babies in nursing room at church.  She talks to anyone who will listen.  It is so fun to see how God made their little personalities SO different, yet it is definitely obvious they are sisters. Lydia loves her sister, her mommy and daddy, to eat anything--especially power cords-- she will crawl and roll across a room to get to one (shaking my head), going for walks in her stroller, talking, and trying to steal food off of plates. 

Now that we are updated, and will be having more bloggable life soon... I'm sure the blog posts will be more frequent. :-)  Pray for us as we begin this new adventure!!
