Finally some updates

We have only been here for two weeks (three weeks now!)so don't be too hard on me for just getting updates and pictures up =)

Here we go...

Well in April, yes April, my brother and his family came out to California for a visit. We all went to Disneyland and had a great time together, with the kids being a little older than the last time we all went it seemed like they were able to enjoy the experience even more. It was a really hot day and we were not ready for the heat, oops!

Lexy drove me around in Autotopia, she was having an awesome time giving me whip lash.

Can you see Lucas? That is who Nana was chasing, he's a quick little guy.

Lucas and Lexy getting soaked. And now the trip to Oregon

Rusty's first smell of Oregon air, he is very happy to be home again.

My parents were able to drive up with Joe and I and stay with us for a week. We loved having them and it was really hard to leave them at the airport when their trip ended. =( We took them to some of the places we enjoy seeing and to the town where Joe grew up. It was so helpful to have them around to unpack, unload and get settled.

Joe took my Dad out on the boat a few times.

Joe has been looking for a job non stop and has applied to a lot of jobs. We have been praying a lot and know that God has a plan for us. It is all exciting and nerve racking at the same time waiting for something to open up. But the Lord has gifted Joe with so many talents and the drive to work hard and provide for his family.

This is one of our wonderful dinners on patio along the river, it is so relaxing and beautiful we are so thankful to Joe's aunt and uncle who are letting us stay with them.

We are really happy about the decision we made to move, even though we miss our family and friends we feel like we have done the right thing.
