Packing, Playing and Photography

What's keeping us busy these days:

Packing. With only 6 weeks to go until our hopeful move date, the packing has gotten under way! I'm not one that can just throw things in a box and call it good.  I feel the need to organize, sort, get rid of, throw out and clean as I pack. Thus, this process may take me longer than the normal human being.


Playing.  Lots of this is happening these days with the spring weather finally here. Charlie loves... I should say "adores" the outside. From playing basketball on his Little Tykes hoop to riding his Red Rider "tractor" to exploring the backyard, he is thoroughly entertained by the outdoors.




Photography. We have been humbly blessed by those who have approached us to take their photos. From seniors to engaged couples to families, we have loved getting the opportunity to capture each in their own season of life! It's been a great little hobby and business that Jimmy and I can do together. You can find us on Facebook at Growing Images Photography.






Pregnancy. We are at the 23 week mark and are so thankful to be past the first trimester! My energy came back plenty in time to start the packing process. God's timing is good.

Preparing. Along with the packing of our physical items, we have also been preparing for the move in many of other ways. Jimmy has been filling out countless forms and paperwork for the home buying process. I have been in search for a new midwife in the area. And together, we have begun the paint selecting process for our new home (definitely one of my favorite as well as one of our most challenging part of this process)!

Praying. Prayer after prayer has been prayed in regard to this moving process.  And God continues to show us in His timing His plan for our family and our ministry.  We are so thankful for His continual provision and faithfulness in our lives despite our times of doubt! We do ask for continual prayer as we transition into a new town, a new church, a new job, a new home and a new baby!
