CD Progress

Hello again!

Here's an update for everyone who ordered a CD: We just heard back from DiskMakers yesterday that we can expect the ship date for the CD to be close to October 12th. Once we receive the copies, then on to you they will go! I will send you a confirmation email that will let you know when to expect your copy :) So exciting!

Rabbit (and Lion?) Stew

Apparently Noah was making stew yesterday :)

 

Doll Highchair

Our good friends John and Gloria gave us Izabelle's doll highchair. Noah insists that it's her chair. I don't understand how she fits in it!

 
 

No nap + Popsicle =

Haha, Noah missed her nap and fell asleep eating a homemade popsicle - this isn't the first time she's fallen asleep in her highchair!

 

Mike's CD progress

We are so excited! We just received the mastered files back from DiscMakers. It sounds excellent, better thank I had hoped! We can't wait until the printing is done and we can share it with you. Mike will have tracks available for download from DigStation.com and iTunes, and hard copies will be available for $10 (plus $2 shipping, email me to order). The design was finalized and submitted and we should receive the finished project in about two weeks!

Thank you SO much to those of you who have supported us and joined in our excitement! We've still got a way to go financially, but have been overwhelmed by your generosity! Special thanks to Tristan and Kim, Cathy, Frank, Derika, Stephen, Andrew and Katie, Andrew N, Pablo and the other Otaolas, Diana, Camille, Crystal and Graham, Sharon, Trey, Stacia, and Keith and many others. We are so thankful for you!

Dallas Outpouring

We had a great, wonderful time when Sherry and Barclay Tait came into town to minister on Friday night. We were so refreshed and encouraged as Barclay, Sherry and beloved Katherine and others opened up in prophecy our dreams, hopes, desires, struggles and cherished promises. It is always absolutely wonderful, incredible, and just plain super neato when God speaks through people to say the things that are deep in your heart - the things you've never told anyone, and the things you've wept over or rejoiced in but no fleshly person could know about. It's such a reminder that God is nearer than near whether we feel Him or not :)

Another Catherine prophesied that our "roots are in now" - a word God gave us back in October of 2006 and that we've treasured in our hearts. It was about being transplanted from where we were comfortable (CA) to grow in another season, another climate. There were so many more things said that were spot on! I'll share more when we listen to the tape again.

 
 
 

Noah's favorite place of play.

Noah loves to play on our bed. Jumping off, jumping on, playing "Launch Pad!" with Daddy (They find a small board, get into launch position -a crouch- then Daddy counts to "THREE!" and he lauches Noah onto the bed. Then Daddy gets to launch too. She loves it.), and most recently, spreading all her hair ties (and mine) over the bed and bouncing them into a mess. She was very proud of her ability to sandwich herself in between two pillows (last photo).

 
 
 

The only way to eat chocolate...

... is MELTED (and nakey, if you're a toddler and eat it with as much passion as Noah.)

 
 
 
 

The "Chauce-boss"

Yes, after all the wonderful names you gave us... Chaucer stuck! Haha, go figure! It was the only name we could really agree on. I liked Toby and Ben and Goose (haha), but Mike disagreed :) So, here he is! We now have him listed on a local rescue group's site (the one we got Ellie through) and hope to have him sponsored... soon! He's going to be a big boy :)
