Hi everybody,

I am officially posting my first entry in my first bog!  

I plan to use this blog to keep in touch with my friends and family, and keep you all up to date on my family and all the things going on in our home.  Hopefully I will figure out how to post some pictures soon.  You will have to bear with me as I am learning the ins and outs of how to do this.

We have been in our new home in Phoenix for 8 days.  It already feels like home.  We are glad that we moved in the winter time!  I can only imagine what summer will be like.

Nathan began a new job installing siding and porch awnings.  He is enjoying the work and catching on fast!

Rosy will be 4 on Thanksgiving day.  She is excited about her birthday.  Yesterday she told me, "I love helping you."  As she is getting older, she is learning more about helping.  She is a good big sister. She helps keep up with Gracie and as they grow, they are leaning to enjoy each other's company more and more.  Rosy absolutely loves Lizzie, and Lizzie adores her big sister. 

Gracie just turned 3.  She says, "I am the same age as you, Rosy," and is quite proud of that!  She wants us to sing her another birthday song to here, so she can have another present!  Gracie was born blind, but God has graciously restored some of her vision.  We are unsure of just how much she sees. The doctor says that she will always be "legally blind" but that is a big range, so only time will tell.  We plan to do her schooling in braille. 

Lizzie is nearly 6 months, and she is a joy! She is such a smily baby, and loves to interact with other.  She is my only baby to have hair, and hers is dark, very different from Rosy's red hair and Gracies dark blond hair.  Lizzie is starting to sit up, and is enjoying her introduction to food.

Well, that's all for now.  Now I just need to figure out how to post this, LOL.
