ON THE MOVE

So many interpretations of a phrase...

on the MOVE...

Draes is definitely moving, moving all the time. He crawls 0-60 in 2 seconds... has the calluses on his toes to prove it :) He loves to pull up and stand. Last week he began crawling up the stairs - COMPLETELY without permission. Naughty boy! So we had to get a gate. He's begun cruising from object to object while standing, and today he even stood on his own for about 30 seconds. My heart rate goes up just watching him. He just looks back, smiles and laughs. He loves to go!

on THE move...

Daxton goes back and forth about this big move to Boise. At times he's extremely excited and wants to tell everyone all about his "new house" and what life in Boise will be like. At other times, he despairs over whether or not he'll make friends and having to say goodbye to "my best house." I'm a little amazed, as he's four, that he's already aware of and worried about his social status. But, we talk through it and I'm sure he'll be fine. He's a real helper and always wants a "job" or to help me pack. Though he'll definitely miss his friends, I can already see his ecstasy at his new adventure.

ON the move...

I wish I could say I felt we were "on" it - as in on top of, in control of, managing... but I don't think so. With just 1 week to go, my packing isn't 1/2 done. My sisters have been a help this week. Dusty has been struggling with a root canal gone bad...ok REALLY bad. Saturday night before last his cheek looked like he was chewing on a golf ball. By Sunday morning it was like a tennis ball and by Monday it was as though a large softball had taken residence in the left side of his face. He got it fixed today, after antibiotics knocked the infection out. What a mess, poor guy. We both can't believe how much has to be done! But God will see us through :) because without question He is always...

ON THE MOVE! We've recently learned one of the girls from our youth group lives in Meridian with her family - another God connection. There are so many blessings, as God continues to open one door after another. Surprises, sometimes challenges, but ever the still, small Voice, "I'm still here." Can't wait to see His new moves :) We'll catch you in Boise!
