More shots of our new home


This pic doesn't do it justice, but there is
a very steep hill in our backyard. The kids
have been rolling down it and pulling each
other down it on a sled. Supervised, of course:)

At the top of the big hill in our backyard, there
is this great open space, plus swings and a
basketball court.

Our patio, complete with Gabe on the ledge

Some playground shots-this is right outside our
apartment building.

One cool thing about living on campus is that every Monday and Thursday night, St. Louis Bread Company (known as Panera in Iowa) brings its leftovers to us for free. This was my steal from last night. You literally just walk to the student center and pick out what you want. How awesome is that??!! Nile laughed at me for wanting to post a picture, but I was so excited that I just had to.

The new home and neighborhood is looking like a great blessing to you and the family. As I was looking at the photos I was thinking "God is good, He has shown great love to you, He is protecting you and giving you much joy in His provisions and blessings. The kids look to be enjoying their new home, and I am so excited for your bread treasure...there is great joy in the simple things of life!" I love you lots, miss you lots but oh so excited for you! - Love Aunt Sarah

Loving the pictures! That hill is going to be awesome when a little snow comes! Bring out the sled! I can already see the kids making a snowman at the bottom of the hill and plowing into it with a sled. I love the bread picture, too! That's a great deal! Talk to you soon.

Having also recently sold a house I loved (still love) and moving into the UK-version of a flat, can i just say that the Lord is good to provide parks and play grounds!! However, your apartment looks great and I am so pleased for you that you have that patio!!
