FATHER'S DAY AND OTHER STUFF

Father's Day was hopefully a good day for John. :) We started out the day at church, then hung out at home until dinner time. For dinner, we headed over to my parents house so we could ALL get together. 6 adults, 1 teen- ager, and 8 kids = a full house!

Below are some pics:


I thought the one above was too funny, it says "you people bore me!" :)

Here's pretty much the whole gang at my parents -minus me (taking the pic) and my dad who everyone is looking at as he opens his presents. :)
it's hard to tell in this pic, but Elizabeth is giggling and squealing as the fan blows her hair. We have ceiling fans in all of our rooms, and in the room the kids sleep in, we have another fan, but it's aimed "up". I don't think she's ever actually felt a fan blow on her. It was so fun to watch this unexpected "first". :)


Everyone has been asking how we're doing with our house hunt and all. We still don't know exactly where we're headed in a few weeks. Right now, it's looking like we're crashing at my parents for awhile..not optimal, but better than nothing.

We do have an offer on another foreclosure house and still have not heard anything yet -our offer went in first thing last Thursday morning. The bank has lost ALOT of money on this house, so our agent said it may take them longer to look at offers simply because they have to be really careful about who they select to buy it. Because we're considered a "very strong buyer", we're hoping that will sway the bank in our favor. Please pray for us. We would really like this house, but not if it's not what the Lord would have for us.

The kids seem to be doing fine with the idea of moving. They don't quite understand it, but I think they think it's a fun idea. Though Andrew has said on more than one occasion "it's taking forever for us to move into a new house!'.

Here are some pics of how the "move" is going:

the cabinets in our coffee table used to house toys on one side and school stuff on the other -as you can see -they're empty now. :)


I thought this one was too cute.

And if you can, pop over to my sister's blog to see her exciting news! I'll give you 1 hint:

Ok - too funny the pics of moving and thanks a lot for posting that crazy one of all of us. That is a winner :). Elizabeth does look too sweet in that last photo, but it also kind of looks like she has a mohawk.

Love all the pics. I especially love the one of "E" yawning... it definitely looks like a "you people are boring me" look. :0)
