Ventura Beach~

These are the pictures from last month that I never blogged about. It was the perfect reprieve from the craziness of moving and house hunting.
I think we must have looked at 60 houses in 3 weeks. Our first two offers were not accepted, but last week our third one was! I am not going to hold my breath until we get through inspections this week, though.
Our house in Indy sold in 5 days! We found out while we were waiting to board our flight to CA! We feel so blessed that God has worked out everything so well and so quickly.
The move has been hard on the kids. They have really been missing their friends. This day at the beach really helped them just have fun and get excited about being in California.



On top of everything else I have been temporarily homeschooling the kids so they don't have to switch schools once we find a house. We have actually really enjoyed it!
Landen had a blast playing in the sand. Poor little guy was burning up with fever every night we were in the hotel in Indy and was just fit full on the plane ride to CA. But we survived.
Landen turned 17 months right before we moved so I guess these are his 17 month pictures.

On the plane Zach said, "We aren't Indians anymore. Indians? Indianans?" And then at our layover in Chicago the kids said we were homeless. They by the time we landed in California they said we are officially Californians and that we were "home!"


God has been so good to us through this whole process and we are very excited to get into our house and get settled. Thank you everyone for your prayers!
" Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory..."
Ephesians 3:20-21a

Is Landen waving in that one pic where he's walking back from the water with Jeff? Looks like it! Looks like they had a blast! :)

What fun!! Not many people out there. I love that pic of Jeff holding his hand. Warms this moms heart. Mikayla, Zach, and Landen hit the jackpot with their parents.Those verses in Ephesians are some of my favorites. It's just mind blowing what our heavenly Father does for us. Zach is all arms and legs. Did you pass me up yet? I'll always remember how that was always such a great goal for Mikayla and Zach. Mikayla I love the shades. :)
