Shiloh's birthday

So, we had an apple party for Shiloh. It was very low key, but still sooo cute. I love seeing her with the apples. It was great to have my side of the family be able to be a part of her party, but there was definitely a void without our Georgia family and friends. I guess you can't have it all (or you just have a bunch of different parties, right Chris?!) Here are some of the pictures from that day... Why is this in blue and underlined? I have no idea. Anyway...

the birthday girl (I made her little kimono...gotta brag on myself a little, you know)

no broccoli cake for this little lady :)

We are starting to feel more and more settled every day. I think it's just hard to get our heads around that this is home. Which is strange because I'm from here. Who knows what that's all about. There is still a lot to figure out...exactly where we're going to live (we're living with my dad for now), when bj will start seminary, how long will we really be here, how are we going to be involved in this church (oh and friends, it's so different. I can't even begin to describe how different--but very biblical, and we love the pastor and his wife. We are fairly confident this is where God wants us).

So I guess that's it for tonight. I'll try to be better about more posts, but don't count on it. How's that for commitment?! I'm trying to get more pictures to load, but they won't, so I'm going to try later. See ya
