Misc events in the past couple weeks...

Just this week we took a trip to the coast for 2 days. The weather was absolutely amazing!!! We walked on the beach without freezing and even had a fire to roast marsh-mellows on! It was a great time with my parents and some of their friends as well. =0)

Enjoying the beauty of Oregon again! Rob has been biking 10-15 miles a day... I'm lucky if I can make it a mile walking these days. haha... We took these pictures on our walk the other day, so fun to live by the river again!

Getting ready for the baby! We've been spending a lot of time on different projects for the baby and his room. sewing receiving blankets, making a safari mobile, blankets, crib sheets, and more!

My brother and his fiance recently re-taught us the game "hand & foot"... ever since we have been playing cards whenever and wherever! =0)

Update on Baby Bronson... Praise the Lord that his kidney's seem to be doing ok. (at least they aren't continuing to increase in size). Our recent concern is that he is still head up (breech) and not seeming to want to turn despite all the efforts we've been giving. (i have been laying upside down with ice on the top of my belly and a flashlight pointing at the bottom of my belly... suggestion of the mid-wife... haha). If he doesn't decide to turn this week we will have to start talking alternative delivery (C-section). I am very nervous about what will come... but trusting that God has known about this before we were even pregnant and so He is in control and will bring about what is best for both me and the little man. Your prayers are greatly appreciated though! =0) Only 18 more days till the due-date... eagerly counting down!

Life in the "burg"

"Roseburg that is"

Well we made it safely to Oregon! Thank you all for your prayers for safety... we made it with no breakdowns, no delivery (haha...) and I actually wasn't too uncomfortable! So we are now residing in the big metropolis of Roseburg (my hometown)... the length of our stay here is still unknown, but we are slowly making our "room" feel like a "home" =0)

Baby update: had a slight scare with insurance company on our last appointment saying we had no coverage in Oregon (which i had checked into a month ago and was told we would)... think we have it settled and are hoping for an update on network coverage this week. We have our next apt with the mid-wife on monday and ultrasound Wed... so we will know more then on how the baby is doing. Mommy and Daddy are getting anxious to meet the little guy. =0)

We will update more as things progress, but for now just wanted to say that we are Oregonians again and thank all of you that have been praying for us! =0)

Sending you love and asking God's for His richest blessings on you,
R & T

Dunk Tank

Rob volunteered to sit in the dunk tank for the end of the year school carnival. Then for the last week he's been talking "smack" about how no-one would be able to dunk him. =0) haha... well, he hit the water quite a few times actually. Though it was funny to see how many times a few kids tried. haha...

Saying Good-bye

We started saying our goodbyes to folks here in the Colorado Springs area. It's been a great year for us as couple, we have learned to grow together, love each other, and start a family. We had a barbecue/horse ride/mini-shower/mini going-away party at the Davis ranch with the OTC/AIA Wrestling families and friends. We have another party at Bible Study tonight. Saying good-bye is getting easier, but as Tifani says "There is no goodbyes on the mission field, only see ya later". We have been thankful for the Thursday night bible studys at the OTC and all the people there, and our young marrieds group on mondays. More pics to come!

Baby Shower and May Flowers

Some of the gals in our Bible study group blessed me with a Baby shower this weekend! It was a great time of fellowship! Each lady wrote a prayer/verse of blessing for our little man. It was very meaningful and such a special time for me! I was honored to have 2 of the Spaulding girls there too (family from Faith Academy)!



Also this weekend, we finally had sunshine and warmth! So Rob and I decided to have a picnic dinner at Garden of the Gods! It was beautiful. I love seeing the flowers and other signs of Spring's arrival! We will sure miss this place.

OHIO

We got to take a whirlwind trip (flights canceled, delayed, ugh) to Ohio to check out Athletes In Action Headquarters and Ohio State University. Most the pictures are of Ohio State, the headquarters are nice but not really blog worthy at this point. More to come on the trip in the next few weeks......

Last Day of the Trip

Well its been awhile we have had kind of crazy month and a half so we are updating the blog a little late. Our last days on our trip were enjoyable, even though Tifani was really sick. We really enjoyed our time together and seeing the beauty of the Southwest, although I will have to conquer the Grand Canyon later, but I will have the little man to conquer it with! Included some of the pictures of the last few days....
