Pensacola Update

Things are settling down a little down here in Pensacola. All the major life events are behind us for now. We are finally getting settled in our jobs and our new house. My (debbie:) work is going great too. I was dreading having to learn adults again, but I think I actually like it. Of course, nothing takes the place of my babies - my work babies, that is. It's neat - I don't know where I'll be working when I go to work - the nursery or the floor with the mommies. Makes it a little more interesting. Matthew is doing well with his bottles now. We tried yet another kind of bottle - the cheap ones ;) and they work the best.

Matthew is two months old now! I can't believe it. I really can't believe I haven't gotten to those birth announcements yet.... I addressed two tonight, so maybe soon? He's holding his head up great now and laughs and coos and smiles. He still sleeps a lot, but is very happy and playful when he's awake.

Ryan went on his first ocean fishing trip yesterday with Ben and "Pop" - that's our babysitter's dad. He had a blast, and he didn't get sea sick. I was worried he would be like his momma and puke the whole time :) I don't have sea legs, I guess. He's also been really good about going potty, too. His friend in nursery just started using the potty, so he is interested again. Maybe this time will be the time he really learns the potty.... He went standing up the other day - Mommy was proud :) (daddy was too)

Ben has been getting ready for camp and VBS this June and for the spring cookout tomorrow. He also has been getting stuff together to redo the church's website. It's pretty simple now and no one has kept it up. Ben found out that that is what our neighbor does for a living. He also knows he's not saved, too, so pray Ben has the opportunity to witness. He has already asked Ben to come over a talk, because he wants to know more about the Bible.

My garden is actually growing stuff! Especially the bean plants. They are definitely beating everything else. I even have some sprouts on the other side of the garden - where I didn't plant them.... Anyway, everything has sprouted except the peppers. Maybe they will soon? Maybe I'll just buy some seedlings from the nursery....

I hear Matthew calling me.....
