25 Weeks and Counting

Many of you have been asking about a pregnant picture and wondering about the size of my ever expanding belly. Well, here you go. This picture is from about 23 week and was taken on our front porch. I am definately bigger now but everything is going well and the baby seems to be healthy and happy. I think he is going to be a future olympic champ as much as he has been moving, rolling, punching and kicking inside. We have affectionately named our little one "Henry" for the time being. Griff and I continue to toss around names and have yet to decide on anything. Good thing we have a little while though I know December 8th will be here before we know it.

Home Sweet Home

The above picture is of the current Jones family. During Griff's "vacation" we got to travel to Pittsburgh and visit family for a few days. It was a great visit as Andy had just returned from Bolivia and Chris, Sarah and Abby were able to come up for an evening.

Griff and I have finally moved into and are semi settled in our new home. We are loving our little row home in Lancaster. We are getting to know our neighborhood and neighbors and really loving it. Praise God for His gracious provision in providing us a home in such a short time. It is wonderful to drive just a few minutes any direction and be surrounded by farm land. I feel at home.

The move went amazingly with all of our parents and many friends helping out. Our mom's cleaned the place top to bottom and our dad's not only put up crown-molding but also installed a washer and dryer, fixed plumbing and did small odd jobs around the house.

This morning, it was back to the morning routine for Griff as he woke to the beeping of his 5am alarm. It moments I felt like a proud but weepy mom sending her son off to his first day at school.

It is a fun and exciting time. Thank you all for your prayers over the past month as we began this process. We could not have done it without you.
