In Our New Home

Well, we are here in Michigan now. The trip up here was very exciting, and very long, but Juliana made it. She doesn't want to see her car seat ever again, but she made it. We are living up here in Zachary and Patti's basement. The bedroom and bathroom are finished, but Zachary still has to finish the kitchen. He has been out of town working this week, but he's been so great. Everything looks wonderful. Juliana has her crib now, and has started to sleep in it across the room from her mommy and daddy. Nathaniel said it felt like we were leaving her all alone far away. I agree somewhat, but it is nice to sleep a little better. I will post some pictures soon, but things have been so crazy that I haven't gotten a chance to get it all together. Tomorrow is Halloween and Juliana and her cousins will be dressing up and going out to visit grandparents. I will definitely post pictures of that.
Nathaniel is still trying to get his transfer to go through at Walmart. Prayers would be appreciated. It sounds as if they want to hire him, they just have to get some kinds worked out. I hope that happens soon. We are doing well, and really enjoying our new home.

Getting Ready for the Big Move

Well, the day has finally arrived, and we are headed off to Michigan to start our new life. We are all really excited and also really scared, but we truly believe that this is where God wants us to be. The moving and packing has been very exciting. Nathaniel and I stayed up late packing up last minute things and Juliana was awake as well. The first picture shows what happens when Daddy plays with Juliana while Mommy works. Yes, my daughter is lying in an empty cabinet. Oh well. Anyway, Juliana is growing so much every day. She's getting long and gaining weight. Nathaniel and I think she may be around 11 pounds now give or take. She is starting to use her voice when she makes noises as well. It's so much fun to watch her try new things. Her smiles make my day. :) I think Juliana will be happy up in Michigan, but we'll see how she enjoys the trip up there. Car seats are not her favorite thing, but we're hoping she'll sleep a lot. The rest of these pictures are nothing special, but just cute things throughout our days.

Our Silly Little Girl

Juliana is growing more and more every day. She is starting to be much more alert. She will now follow her mommy and daddy with her eyes when they walk away. She is also starting to grab things now. She's doing great at holding her head up and getting better every minute. She's always wanting to learn more and more. These picture are of her lying on her boppy pillow. When she started her head was on the pillow. She then proceeded to push her way farther and farther off. As you can tell, she's becoming more independent every day.

These pictures are just showing how cute she is. She's yawning, which is adorable. The second is just.....well, it speaks for itself. The last one is when she's going to sleep. She's showing off her little chipmunk cheeks.

This first picture was just adorable. They were sleeping the exact same way. It was even more identical before I could run and get the picture. The next one is just a close up with her mommy.
