Here is our almost home in Waverly! We are waiting to see if everything will work out with our short sale. We are enjoying the house, although our arrival was eventful!



This happened the first day the kids and I got here! That night Bryn and Nick were also throwing up. The great thing about it is that things have only gotten better. The ceiling is now fixed and Nick and Bryn are better.



Here is a picture of the geese in our backyard. We have loved watching them grow from goslings, but they make a lot of fertilizer! Brynli's new job is to scare them away and she does it with gusto. We have also seen a BIG turtle, frogs, snakes, squirrels, rabbits, a raccoon, groundhogs, a ferret, blue heron and all kinds of birds and insects. Mom pointed out we have fireflies and the kids and Nick caught two the other night.



Nick's been enjoying the fishing. This one was over five pounds after it was gutted. Ari got sick during the gutting and had to leave, Brynli weathered through it and Chance loved it! I haven't done any fishing, but I mush admit it is pretty peaceful to go out and sit with Nick and watch the water and the birds.

Grandpa Comin, Matney, Rob (not in the picture) Taylor, and Mom came to visit us. It was really nice having family. We love it here, but have really felt, even in this short time, the distance, from family.


AND last but not least.... Brynli has lost here first tooth. She is too young for it, but then maybe acting like a teenager speeds up development. Last night when it was time to put the tooth under her pillow she started to cry. She couldn't decide if she wanted the money from the tooth fairy or to keep the tooth. In the end, she decided to hide the tooth from the tooth fairy, at least for the night. We'll see how long she lasts.

We love it here, and feel that the Lord has brought
us safely into this new country, but
we miss and love you all,
keep in touch!
