It's Been Awhile...

So I thought I would give this blogging thing another go.  I quit about a year ago because I realized I had nothing to say but now that we have a sweet little girl to talk about maybe it will go better.  Oh, and the staying home instead of working long hours...that might help too.

Here's the quick update since last September...
~ We got pregnant not 1 week after we were told we were going to have trouble with that process
~ We spend exactly one year in Columbia before Adam was offered a job in Cedar Rapids, IA at St. Luke's Hospital
~ Our sweet Ellie was born June 15, 2012...and while it was not our timing it was the Lord's, I am incredibly grateful for our baby girl
~ I'm a stay at home mama now!  It's been my dream job for awhile now and I am loving the transition

Our days look different now.  Ellie is still waking once or twice most nights.  She also has a hard time going to sleep at night which takes up a good part of our evenings.  I spend the days taking care of our home, going to MOPS, loving on my girl, and working out (ugh baby weight).  Adam is still on orientation at work and his schedule changes a little day to day but he is LOVING the new position.  North Liberty is our home now and we are so grateful.

There's the update, now here are some pics!

Little Miss Ellie back when she was her littlest.  

These are the men from our small group in Columbia who came over at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning to load our stuff.  That group was one of the fondest memories we have of Columbia.

And that my friends is as big as I can possibly get...wow.  We took that on our way out the door for our induction.  

Now I'm hoping to keep you updated a little more frequently, and since I set the bar so low not posting for a year maybe I can do that.
