life in limbo

well...our life is still in limbo. we are excited to move up to the bay area, just when is unknown and jake's start date is unknown and what is his job untill he starts his new job...well I won't go on and on and on with all these unknowns...but i will ask again for more prayer...i am having a bit of a difficult time with all of this....

prayer...

in case anyone is reading this...please be praying for our living situation, our move, meeting new friends, pluse much more, selling our house, jake's back to stay good and his new job. we have so much going on of course all at once. so I'm sending out a simple little prayer request. i promise to update with all the blessings God will provide. in spite of this all uncertainty we are doing quite well...for the most part. except for the times that I kinda have my emotional breakdowns...but those are few! ok, thanks!! :)

Upsidedown Jelly cake

Auntie Gina and her awesome upsidedown jelly cake and excited Luke. Here is a bit of background on the cake...for about the last 9 months Luke has been talking about how he wants an "upsidedown jelly cake" for his 4th birthday and how Auntie Gina is going to make it for him. We are not to sure where he got his creative idea, perhaps because he loves jellyfish. Well of course Auntie Gina rose to the occassion and made him his cake with homemade kiwi jelly and the red things on the cake are gummy worms to go with the "bug" theme of his party. It was perfect and as you can see Luke was ever so pleased! Oh and by the way...the cake was delicious!
"Happy birthday to you...."

brief update...

I know I'm not so good at keeping up with what's happening in our neck of the woods, so let's see...Luke turned 4 and is more and more adorable, his imagination is incredible. We had a great "bug party", I'll post pictures soon, promise. Bowen turned 1 and is walking and talking a bit and sigining some as well. He loves to play with his big brothers. Asheroo is 2 1/2 and is also so adorable and funny! His giggle is so contagious. He is starting to get into storytelling, however he still copies what Luke says. He and Luke are best buds! Jake's back is doing much much better and now he is activley pursuing a new career in accounting. Hopefully in the next couple of months we will know if he has a new job and where....perhaps the Bay area may become our new home. I will for sure keep you all posted. Boy howdy life is sure full of many adventures, I'm so thankful to be in the Hands of my Heavenly Father, who knows the perfect plan for our lives. In that is what I put my trust in and am able to have peace during a time of so many unknowns. God is so good and faithful and real!!! For a few months ago, I would not have been so positive about these new changes. Ok. There is the brief update. pictures to follow....
