My grandaughters are here this weekend and we were down in the pool at our apartment by 9:00 A.M.!! The boys have become awesome swimmers since living here and we use the pool at least once a day.

Layla sporting her new boots. Notice how her skirt is falling off and you can see the top of her tights!

The boys having some fun in the water and Thanks to the loving relatives that LOVE to give my children candy!!

We stayed in a hotel New Years Eve with some of my family and celebrated a late Christmas with them the next day!! Layla showing her true personality!! I love these pictures!

Finally some pictures!

Layla and her cousin Zada who came home from Ethiopia the week before Layla came home!

Where have I been the last 2 weeks??? Wait until you hear!

I am finally getting a chance to post and was suprised to see that my last post was on Dec 30th! Oh, what alot of changes we have seen in the new year already!! Steve was offered a new job right before his Christmas break and we spent 11 long days praying and deciding what to do. We really feel this is a great opportunity and decided to go ahead and take the job. Tonight I am writing to you from a new town about 4 hours south of where we lived. In 2 weeks we have found an apartment, packed, moved and are settling in!! I am so tired I could cry but we have a pool and hot tub so soon we can sit back and relax and enjoy the winter. I will post pictures as soon as I find the cord for my camera. I am off to find a preschool for the boys tomorrow and they are so excited. Layla seems a little out of sorts but I think it has been alot of Mommy being busy and she really just needs some attention. What an adventure life can be!
