Easter

We have moved out of our home...it is sold & done & we are just waiting for our new home to close escrow (we were supposed to have moved in last week, but delays have occured & all we can do is wait). We hope to move in this week. For now we are living with my folks (it just feels like we are on vacation & are being so spoiled :) )!! We have so much to be thankful for this Easter and count our many blessings!! We hope that you all had a wonderful Easter. We are SO glad He has Risen, Indeed!!!


Easter morning...Chloe & Mommy

Gma Kris & Chloe


Chloe in the church nursery. She loves to push around cars, strollers & just about anything she can get her hands on. She is so cute!!


A long day & time for a nap. So sweet...


Back at Gma & Gpa's house for the festivities...Enjoy looking at the rest of these photos...we are so proud of our little angel.

Packing

Our garage is full of filled boxes (see photo below). That seems to be our lives, filling boxes with stuff that I forgot we even owned. We are moving on thursday & we are so thankful to almost be done. Thank you for your prayers. We are not done yet & could still use those prayers so keep 'em comin'. We know God is in control & we take our comfort from Him. Chloe has been a big help (mentally). She gives me joy, peace, & most of all a big belly laugh with her fun, sweet & just plain AWESOME personality & this helps get me through everyday (not to mention that I have the BEST husband a woman could ever have & I thank the Lord for Him daily). Enjoy these photos.



Chloe & Jack help pack boxes...


Chloe with her teddy bear...she loves to carry him around with her wherever she goes!:) She makes my heart smile.

Walking

Chloe started walking 1 week ago. She is not too steady & only takes 2 & 3 steps by herself at one time, but every day I see her grow stronger & braver. 11 mos 1 day old and walking. She is growing up so fast!! Below are some fun photos of when Gma Julie & Auntie Amy came to visit last week.

53 Days

We have SOLD our home (see photo below). Yea & Praise the Lord!!!!! 53 days is the length of time it took for our home to sell. We close escrow on April 13 & have to be out of this home by noon that day. Needless to say we are very thankful to be almost done. We have great memories of this home, our 1st home where we had our 1st baby. But, we are ready to move on.

And moving on we are so, onto the next portion of this adventure. We have BOUGHT a home with property, 2.69 acres to be exact. It is acutally set to close on the same day as our current home to make it easier for us to not have to move twice. We bought this home in the town of Ione. Our neighborhood is called Lake Chamanche Village. The home is a manufactured home, made in 2003. It is very nice. We already have plans to paint it & add our little touches to it, but it is so new that not too much needs to be done. The current owners put brand new carpet in it about 2 weeks ago & the whole house smells clean & fresh. The property has a detached garage that is over 1400 sq ft with a loft & a carport on one side. We are going from a 1100 sq ft home to over 2500 sq ft home so it is quite a change for us. Not to mention having the property will be fun!! And Nate loves the workshop/garage. He already is thinking about the many future projects he wants to do. The property is beautiful. It is set next to a community duck pond that is probably on over 10 acres so this green belt will never be developed. We have direct access to this pond from our prop (the pond comes onto our prop, as well). The pond has bass in it so we can fish anytime we want. Not to mention that we will be about a 5 min drive from Lake Chamanche so we can swim & enjoy the Lake & water at anytime, as well. I will be updating the blog with photos of our new home soon so stay tuned.
