It's been a while. . .

Wow!

I haven't posted on our blog since Faith was one week old. She's three and a half now! Since then we've been blessed with Grace Girl, changed jobs, and changed cities. Okay maybe changing cities is overstating a move from Moss Bluff to Kinder, but you get the point. We've been busy! Amanda and I are going to try and do better.

My goal for the next few days, weeks, and months is to chronicle the next big phase in our life; the construction of our new house. Thank God, we should be starting in mid-April. Already, we've been blessed to work with some great people on this job and we know we've got the chance to work with some more as we go. As it stands today, we have a cornerstone, dirt pad, two driveways, the temporary electrical pole and four blueberry bushes all on our "land." Before we get started we will try to post some info on how we got that far.

We've been home for one week! Thank God things are going well. This picture was in the paper today:

Just the Three of Us!

We've made it home safe and sound! There are so many pictures of Faith that we've put them in a website. Go to this link to view her progress from a little peanut to a little baby. The last eight pictures are from the last few days.

Amanda and I are so happy to welcome Faith Elizabeth into our family! Faith was born June 20th at 1:15 p.m. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 5 oz. and 19 1/4" long.

Baby Faith!

We'll be putting pictures of Faith up as we go at this website. Amanda is on bed-rest until Wednesday; we should have our little girl sometime Wednesday! I can send a quick e-mail out when she gets here.

 

We appreciate your encouragement and prayers.

Jake, Amanda, and Faith
