Just a few random pictures of Isaac and Elisabeth. And of course some cute cupcakes that tasted even better than they looked!
We have the Internet now!!!!!! I have had a few request that I needed to update our blog. So here are a few things that have happened in the last 8 months since I last posted. :)
As most of you have heard we are moving, Jake will be starting PA school in the fall at Drexel University, in Philadelphia. I was really distraught when I found out we would not get to stay here in Camp Hill. I have grown to love this town and I feel more at home here than I ever have since I left Missouri. We have met the most outstanding people here who have changed our lives forever. I feel so comfortable here, I love our ward, I love our neighborhood, I love the local YMCA. I think they know me by name at the GIANT cookie counter where my children have had more than there fair share of free kids cookies. There really are countless things I love about this place. But..... all good things must, no I was not going to say come to an end I was going to say keep going. I know that we are moving for a specific reason, not one that I am sure of right now but, I have always felt the Lords hand in my life. I feel that he knows exactly why it is that we need to move and I trust him to take care of us there. We will meet more people and come to love different places, and I hope we can maybe be put into someone Else's life that might need us there too.
Meanwhile, I am currently 31 weeks pregnant, and I am feeling more and more tired these days. I am not too fond of the whole pregnancy experience, except for the fact that I know that I am carrying the most important miracle inside me for nine months. Those little kicks and sometimes hard punches remind me of the reality of a Heavenly Father who loves me and loves that I am willing to bring one of his children to this earth. To be honest I could do without the sickness, exhaustion, backaches, varicose veins, constant urination, constipation,& stretch marks to name a few (and believe me I could go on). However I think all of these things can be brought back to what I was talking about before, I think it gives me a little taste of enduring the bitter and then being blessed to get to taste the sweet and be the mother of a beautiful child of God.
Though I have slowed down, Isaac and Elisabeth certainly have not! They are having more and more fun these days playing side by side and sometimes on top of each other, because they have found that they love having wrestling matches. Elisabeth almost never stops talking except for when she is asleep,and then we even hear her on occasion doing that, she loves to dance, sing and give hugs and kisses. She is such a sensitive Little girl, I don't wonder for a second where she gets that from... her dad obviously:) Though she is sensitive she is so sweet, always making sure that no one is getting their feelings hurt, always trying to be the mediator and make everyone happy most of the time.
Isaac, our little 20 month old monkey, is such a boy to the t. He loves jumping, wrestling, growling, hitting, throwing and doing any other thing that boys do. I just don't get it because that is so opposite to Elisabeth. He is so tender as well though. Always comes up and offers random kisses which somehow make all of those other things he does seem OK. We love both of them and they make our lives so much more exciting and fulfilling, more than we could have ever imagined possible.
Well Its late now and I should have been in bed about an hour and a half ago... so hopefully tomorrow I can update with more pictures and a new background, since it is spring time and not Autumn anymore:)

Congrats on the pregnancy and PA school! Brian got accepted at Drexel as well and really wanted to go, but we ultimately decided on Lock Haven for cost-of-living issues. There's a lot of cool stuff to see and do in Philly.
