Malachi David

Well I got my wish! On Wednesday December 5 2007 at 8:15pm Malachi David was born. He weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long. It was a bitter sweet day for us since I lost my Grandpa at 8:15am that same day, but God has been there for us in both the sorrow and rejoicing.

Baby Countdown Begins!

Okay it's December 2 and I have thirteen days till my due date! If I get lucky like I did with Kaitlin I'll be having our baby this week, which I'm really hoping for. He is really invading my personal space and I'd like to have it back! Plus I'm just ready to hold our new bundle of joy. So hopefully the next time I post anything will be after Levi's called and shared the great news and we have many pictures to share.

House update

I'm just gonna keep this quick and brief since I don't want to sit in the muck of our situation anymore. The house stuff completely fell apart, so we're not moving anytime soon. So in the meantime we're just going to make some home improvements and wait till early spring to try and sell our home again. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!

Prayers Needed!

Okay so we were suppose to move into our new home on Sunday October 28, but on Friday we found out that the lending for the person buying our house fell through. So since there's no way we want to get stuck with two mortgages we had to back out of moving into our new home. So as of right now we are waiting and praying that the person buying our home can get a different type of loan so that we can not only sell our house, but also move into the home that we found. So right now it's a waiting game and also hoping that the sellers of the new home will still work with us. So please keep us in your prayers as we try to wait patiently (which has been very hard for me since I had everything in our house packed and I'm due in six weeks.)

Our New Home

Last weekend while I was out of town Levi went to an open house in Rockford. Then on Monday we went and saw the house together and then we went back again so I could have a second look on Tuesday. On Thursday we submitted an offer and today they accepted it!!! So we have a new home! And we will be moving in two days before we close on our house. Praise God! Only He could have made all this fall together so nicely for us.

Goodbye Muriel Street

We got the phone call from our realtor on Friday saying it's a go! We have a buyer! And we need to be out of our house on October 31st!!! So we've got three weeks to pack up and move out. Oh and find ourselves a new home! So please keep us in your prayers that all will go smoothly.

Kaitlin's Birthday Party Take 2

Kaitlin's second 2nd birthday party was at Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's house on the east side of the state. (And again mommy and daddy were to busy visting with everyone to capture pictures of everyone who came...)

Kaitlin's official 2nd birthday...August 16

I think Kaitlin's going to think that birthday's are a week long event, but we couldn't not celebrate on her birthday.

This goat would not leave Levi alone the whole time we were in the petting farm. Needless to say Levi was not liking his new friend.

Potty Break

The day after Kaitlin's birthday party we found Kaitlin in her bedroom reading to her new doggie, named Ruff Ruff, who she had put on her potty chair. At least someone is learning how to use the potty!

Kaitlin's Birthday Party Take 1

Kaitlin had her first 2nd birthday party with family and friends who live in the Grand Rapids area on August 11. It was a pretty hot day, but we enjoyed having everyone over to celebrate Kaitlin turning two. (The only bad part was that mom and dad were to busy talking to really get pictures of everyone who came...)

Ultrasound pictures

Okay these are the pictures of our baby. I'm hoping to find a way to get them bigger, but for now this will have to do.

IT'S A BOY!!!

Today I had my 20 week ultrasound and we found out that we're having a boy. The baby is currently breech, so we got really good pictures of EVERYTHNG! Levi of course is very happy and proud. I on the other hand am happy, but a little scared. I mean I'm used to a girl and boys are so different, it feels like this is my first child all over again. Levi says not to worry cuz I have him, and so I know boys....need I say more! Yikes. Okay so say some prayers for all of us. We're very excited, but now it's becoming quite the reality that we're growing our family by one.

(Pictures are soon to come once I figure out how to scan them onto my blog. If anyone knows lease email me. Thanks!)
