Our transition from Carrollton to Augusta...

We spent the last couple weeks in Carrollton packing up all are belongings with the help of many friends and family.

Some sweet friends and great CYI volunteers with Emma

 We enjoyed sweet times of fellowship with many dear friends as we said good-bye.

On Saturday, July 30th we loaded up a moving truck and a couple other vehicles with all our belongings and we didn't forget these two cuties... :-)

Sunday, July 31st, Stephen led worship one last time at KCP.  We told our dear brothers and sisters good-bye and started our journey to Augusta.  We made it safely and unloaded all our belongings into a warehouse for storage.  There was some miscommunication so we stayed the first night with our new boss, Rick and his family.

Monday, August 1st, we got the key to the Missionary House and got settled.  We are in the downstairs unit. It is fully furnished and beautiful! We feel very blessed to be able to stay here while we transition.

The girls have been troopers! They miss their friends and play dates. As parents we have prayed for them to quickly adjust and to make some dear friends!  Our first Sunday at our new church, Caileigh walked right into her new Sunday School class with excitement!  We were so proud of her!  After church we asked her how it went - she said, "We learned about Daniel and the lions and I made some new friends, but I don't remember their names."  She then asked us what our new friends' names were... :-)  Emma apparently was the nursery daredevil... no new news here! :-)  She did recently try to repaint her pack n play with the contents of her diaper.  She keeps us on our toes and laughing!  Her latest phase is pulling up to standing and then letting go and standing without support!  Walking here we come!

This week the girls and I have tried story time twice!  Yesterday, we went to the one for Pre-schoolers - we were the only ones who showed up - so they didn't do it, maybe next week.  We did, however, come home with a bag full of books!  Today we went to the Baby Story time.  It was fun!  Emma loved all the cool toys and books that she got to explore and clapped along to all the songs and rhymes.  Caileigh enjoyed the books.

Please pray as we continue to raise support.  Pray that it would come in quickly - Stephen's about to go stir-crazy I think!  He works hard every day to make contacts and then has to trust that he will get responses.
