Catching up...

Seems like we've been busy but we really haven't, we've just been having lots of fun! John is a walking pro these days and does much more walking than crawling. He thinks he's hot stuff when he does walk, and goes all over the house cracking up and grinning. It's pretty cute and really funny to see him so proud of himself, and I'm pretty proud of him too! We show everyone we come across that he can walk now. Lately, the fun thing has been to walk around the house brushing his hair with his new dollar-store hairbrush. He has to stop to brush, then keep walking. Hasn't quite figured out doing 2 things at once...I hope he will be able to chew gum and walk at the same time later ;)

I (collectively, meaning me and John) took a trip to sunny Melbourne Florida on Wed. night to visit my aunt Jeanine (dad's sister). We had such an amazing trip, filled with doggies, sun, big water (the ocean), yucky sand, swimming, shopping, Mary Poppins, good food at home, eating out, poop (that one's for you Jeanine), and special times hanging out with family. I was sooo blessed by Jeanine, Bill, and Warren and left begrudgingly on Sunday. Isaac couldn't come because of work and that was no fun, but it was such a great time! John did amazing during both car rides, a total of 15 hours driving, with no meltdowns of any kind. He watched Mary Poppins and napped a little, but mostly just listened to music with his mommy and looked out the window for 7 hours each trip! I am not so terrified to drive across the country anymore, after this great driving experience!

Monday was our 2 year anniversary also! Isaac took most of the day off and we hung out at home with the munchkin. During the evening we dropped him off with Meredith, Nathan, and Aubrielle, and went to dinner at Augusta's finest Japanese steakhouse (note the exxageration). We LOVE Fujiyamas because it's fairly cheap (as compared with the really ritzy ones) and the food is sooo good. We had the leftovers for lunch the next day and they tasted just as good!! After dinner we had coffee at parused a bookstore together, which is one of our favorite things to do. Pretty laid back and nice to be alone. Since Monday, these last couple days have been spend relaxing and spending time with friends. John is still recuperating from our long trip and practising his walking skills. I can't believe how fast time flies these days, we're having so much fun with our little one! He gets more and more personality every day, and teaches me something new every day as well.

As for the house, we have yet to get another offer and are waiting patiently on the Lord to provide a buyer. It does look like Isaac will be moving out to WA ahead of us, however, so pray for our family to stay strong and have some good times before he leaves. It is bittersweet though. I am not looking forward to being husbandless, but I am looking forward to spending a little while longer with my friends here in Augusta. I find myself waking up in the morning already looking forward to calling up Lauren or Meredith and getting together to watch our little ones play. I hope you all enjoy the pictures, please keep us in your prayers!
