I walked in from the laundry room the other night to find Samuel standing on the arm of this rocking chair. He was trying to get to the stuff on the book case beside the rocker. I am almost embarassed to put these pictures up due to the junkiness of my house. Seriously, my house never looks like this ....ha ha! Much to your dismay I am sure, I stopped the photo shoot just shy of a Mutual of Omaha moment. Notice, I only have pictures of the ascent. Expertly executed though it was, the plan for descent was not so well thought through. Nick was five feet away giggling with Lillian and snapping pictures. THE BABY WAS STANDING ON ONE FOOT ON THE ARM OF A ROCKING CHAIR!

We are all going on another "make mom bite her fingernails" adventure in the near future. Nick has accepted a job with a structural engineering firm in Seattle, WA. The company is Magnusson Klemencic Associates (http://www.mka.com/) and no, for those of you who follow the strongman competitions, they did not make him dead lift a VW to get the job.

We move in December. We are very excited, a little nervous, pensive, and only in it for the thrill (our individual reactions). But, looking foward to all of the fabulous things our BIG and surprising God has in store for us.
