Change is here!

No, Camden is not here yet, but this is a crazy time for us. For those of you who don't know, we are in the final stages of liquidating our store. Yes, an insane task right before having another child. Our goal is to be done by the end of July, so we can focus on Camden's arrival at the beginning of August. Once he is born and gets cleared, we are moving back to Texas. Joel is starting Seminary in Dallas on September 7th. We are still trying to work out the other details of our lives, and would appreciate prayers for those to be worked out. It will be such a blessing being close to family!

An update on Braylin:

Our sweet little girl has been battling UTI's for about 2 months (that we have known, at least). After going to several Dr's and having several less than pleasant tests run, we found out that she has reflux. She is having to take daily antibiotics to clear up and prevent more infection for about a month. Once we are in TX, we will be seeing a specialist about having a procedure done to hopefully correct the problem. If it doesn't work, we will be looking at a more invasive surgery.

We know that God is sovereign and has a plan for us and can more than take care of Braylin. Even though things are hectic, we are looking forward to the next chapter in our lives to see what the Lord has for us.

Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers during this crazy time.

I added some random pictures from the last month.

Joel needed to use the car to take some kids to lunch, so he brought in Braylin's car seat. She loved her seat being in the living room. She just wanted to be strapped in with a couple of toys with the TV on. It felt a little abusive or neglectful, but I cant lie...I got a lot done around the house that afternoon!
We had a heat wave come through, and it was a bit miserable without a/c. It drained everyone of energy. Braylin NEVER falls asleep in our laps, but she was obviously worn out.

We have great friends who have helped watch Braylin so Joel and I can both be up at the store getting things done. This is her very favorite friend, Enoch. She lights up even when she just sees a picture of him.

  1. Jane...I had that same thing when I was little. Started with urinary tract infections and led to kidney infections. I had a reflex that kept my bladder from emptying all the way. I started getting them around 2 and at about 3 1/2 I had a procedure that fixed it. I then took antibiotics every year until I was 16, and went in every year for a not so pleasant check up. Thankfully the reflex went completely away and I haven't had problems in my adulthood. It's really good that you are catching it this early! I will be praying for that as well as your move and new baby!

  2. I was catching up on how you are and reading your blog.

    Freddie and I are actually also pregnant and have talked about the name Camden as well...crazy! I thought that was interesting because it's not a name you hear often.

    I hope you are doing well and your pregnancy is going well. We miss you!

    Emily and Freddie
