Museum pics and tidbits

Kallie and Isaac having fun in the comic book exhibit.

Kallie inside the dinosaur egg nest.

She got to play around with some puppets at the museum.

What do you see in there Kallie?

She loves riding in an elevator!

Doing some cooking in Mrs. Claus's kitchen!

Where do the days go????............. I have such good intentions of blogging more often than I do. Oh well. A couple of quick things....

Jim has officially accepted the position to take over the store in the Twin Cities. We will be MN residents once again. They have not given him an official start date yet, but it sounds like they will be shooting for next June. Please keep us in your prayers as we go through this transition. I have definitely had my ups and downs with this. One big up will be getting closer to my family. I am very overjoyed for that. We will be two hours away versus 12. The opposite end would be having to leave the home we've started here and leave behind the community we've met. We have enjoyed our run here in Indy. This will definitely always be a home to us. Our children were both born here. I will also be sad to let go of my job. It has been a grueling four years trying to land a premanent position, and this year I finally got it. The innermost part of me doesn't want to let it go now and have to start all over again, but I know it's for the better. I have just been a fortunate one to be able to say I enjoy going to work and enjoy the people I work with. I have to look past the part about the tremendous stack of papers I tend to have to grade!!!! We are placing it all in God's hands now as we think about trying to sell our house and buying a new one. We want to make sure we are doing things right and planting ourselves in a good community when we move. Lots more to think about when you have kids!

We also would love to have your prayers for Jim...once again....after some dr. visits he has found out that he dislocated his patella(knee cap) on one of his legs. He started having some pain and decided to go ahead and get it checked out. They think it may have been an old injury from high school soccer that has reaggrevated. AUGH!!!!! They have given him options of either surgery or therapy. I will keep you posted. I am HIGHLY considering packing him into a bubble for the rest of his life!!

We hope you are all well. Enjoy the pictures. They are from a recent trip Kallie and I made to the wonderful Children's Museum of Indianapolis with some friends.
