I haven’t had much time to get on here and update everyone on what has been going on in our lives these last few weeks; and with all the excitement of babies, I haven’t wanted to post on anything but those two cuties.
We are officially moved out of Harrisonburg. We left yesterday morning after visiting the hospital and are now in PA with the family. Tomorrow morning, we will drive to Newark to see Danny and Kimberly and Daniel Josiah and they will drive us into New York City and to our new apartment there. We will be living in Queens for the month of July.
It was REALLY hard to leave Harrisonburg but the Lord gave a sweet last few weeks there. We have had such fun with some of the people dearest to us.
The Sinks came into town for a night and we were able to have lunch with them. Noa LOVES seeing Kathryn and every time they interact more and seem closer in age. Noa was trying to show Kathryn how to sit up.
MORE FUN THINGS:
Another great thing about the last few weeks was getting to go out to the Masts’ house and enjoy their beautiful property. They have a creek that the kids love wading in and Noa was no exception.
Noa is also big enough now to sit in the cart by herself at the grocery store. She loves helping Mama shop.
And a HUGE blessing was Aunt Hannah coming to town and getting to spend lots of time together. She was an incredible help watching Noa and packing. I couldn’t have done it without her.
Aunt Carly had another baby shower that we got all dressed up for. My Aunt Jane threw it at their new home in Lexington so it was great to finally get to see their place. It was also great because Trudy, Carly’s mum, was there and told some great stories of Carly growing up. Esther, Carly’s sister, has been here too and she made the most adorable Kangaroo cake (and she made it free hand!) Its been so nice have Trudy and Esther here and especially to watch Carly enjoy this special time with them.
One of the greatest blessings in our first two years of marriage has been our home group. We have loved the fellowhip and learning that we have had through this amazing group of people. We have also loved it because there are LOTS of kids in our home group so we’ve had fun watching other parents and learning from them.
Here are Ray and Drew braving a walk to the park with all the kids last Sunday.
And here is Noa with her friends Micah, Josie, and Collin.
And here is Eric with the Reid kids at their swim meet. We were waiting to see if it would be called because of lightning or if the races would happen. They did end up swimming and it was SO FUN to watch each of them do so well.
And of course you all need to see Noa’s first pedicure, lovingly done by her Aunt Hannah. Just another chance to flaunt her beautiful legs 
I LOVE having a daughter!
OH MY GOODNESS..that’s the cutest pedicure I’ve ever ever seen!!Love it!
