Billboard from God

"Calm waters?  Set sail with Jesus!"
God using a structure to show us once again how very present He is!
Off to the pool.  Being hand-in-hand is really important for Olivia (I think it's a control thing... then Samuel can't go faster than her) 
This was an awesome billboard that said "As my apprentice you are never fired." God.
There's a silver lining at the end of each driving day and today it was the great weather and an outdoor pool.
Beautiful green green fields!
Always happiest when she's got something going into that tummy!!
Big brother helping little Ms. Olivia with her shoe... they are actually becoming pretty great friends!  Thanks for praying about this mom!
Our Cracker Barrel Stop.  Say Cheeze!
Lovin' the Green!!!
Sweet face... can't believe how she can soften my heart and yet make me pull out my hair within a few seconds of each other!
Always with a rock in his hand... these were our morning pictures outside of the hotel in Kansas.
Off to start another day.  God is so good!!

We're puttin' our feet up in Oklahoma City and lovin' the 26C weather.  I know it's cold for the locals but we're crazy northerners!!  

God has brought us about 4400 km safely and we're so grateful!!  Samuel showed signs of being very tired of driving today so we had a short day on the road and jumped into an outside pool; had some great family game of Tag and some hot supper from Chili's.

Dad we thought of you today... country song on the radio reminded Samuel of you and your great singing of Johnny Cash's classics :-)

We are finally feeling like we're in the south... the trees are coming alive and there are some beautiful green fields and there's water.  It even smells warm!!  We love it!  The kids have lost their sick faces and I think I might have said "Oh, it's so hot!" but not in a complaining manner...

We went to one of my favorite stops which is Cracker Barrel and I was looking for the Cobb Salad Jules but I couldn't... so I settled for a different salad but it was awesome.  Olivia quite enjoyed her Chicken and Dumplings.  Samuel didn't want to try it but I said it was kinda like what Gramma Penner makes and then he tried it and liked it too.  There was so much Christmas Stuff in the store I just about lost it!!!  I'm SO excited for Christmas even if it means that it's going to be different this year - I know God has a lot to teach me about the real excitement of Christmas so I'm willing to learn.

So tomorrow we're off for Texas and then we'll hang out for two days until we 'report for duty'.  Thank you Jesus for your love and care!  Tisha we're so close...
