It's Been Too Long...

Okay, so truthfully...I had to google this blog to get to it. Sad, I know. I guess I'm not the "blogging" type, but I really am going to try and make an effort, especially with us transitioning so much in the near future. A lot has happened since I last posted. We've sold most of our stuff, officially started working with The Company, and packed our bags for our upcoming journey. Although we still have a bit of training to go through (like, 5 months worth), the process has begun! If you could lift us up to Father in the following areas, that would be great!

1. Transitioning to 2 new locations before we get the final destination
2. Our months of training
3. Joy and renewal in The Word

Thanks for lifting us up, friends. Take care!

Life Now

Hi all,

It's been a busy, fast few months. Toby has finished up his classes here in the States, Haley has learned to roll over and sit up, and I have been staying busy with class, cooking from scratch, and meeting with ladies. God has been very good to us as we continue to grow in Him and as a family.

The next few months will be full of transition for our family so stay tuned for updates!

Not Your Mama's Cloth Diaper

Being a "green" mama (plus it's way cheaper than disposables), I have decided to try cloth diapering. At first, I was intimidated by the options (who knew...buttons, snaps, pre-folds, etc.?), and the amount of percieved laundry I was going to have to do. But, it hasn't been all that bad! In fact, I think I'm getting into it a little too much :) I mean, how can you not love all these fun color options?

Autumn Crafts!

So...now that I have some free time (barely) on my hands, I have enjoyed being crafty. Here is the autumn wreath I made a few weeks ago I found on Danielle's blog: http://www.danielleburkleo.com/2010/10/diy-yarn-wreath-with-felt-flowers.html So fun!

The First Few Months

Wow...It has been a crazy past 3 months! God has been so faithful to our family and I am thankful for how He continues to use the addition of Haley to santicify us. Here are some fun, new things she has just gotten the hang of:

-Holding her head up by herself
-Sleeping through the night (her average is 8 hours, Praise the Lord)
-Finding her hands and somehow trying to fit her entire fist into her mouth (thumb-sucking is on it's way, I believe)
-Trips to both Tennessee and Virginia

Pictures to come soon (I hope)...

MP's Graduation

Hi friends! Toby and I are both very excited about my graduation from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. God's timing is so good :) Thank you to everyone who has prayed and loved on me (and us) during our time at SEBTS. Here are a few recent shots from the day.



Trying to show my "baby bump"



Us in front of Binkley Chapel, where graduation was held

Baby Fleming "graduated" too!

Baby's Nursery

 So, there have been some requests to see photos of the nursery...and I am finally getting around to posting those. We are pretty much ready for Baby Fleming's arrival (minus a few finishing touches, including her name above the crib). Hope you enjoy :)


The "yard sale glider" cleaned up pretty well!



Thanks, Kristin Larson for the wall vinyl idea!



Changing table, with original designs by me-haha! I know they look homemade, but it was a fun project :)
