montgomery

so we moved to montgomery, AL this week. the last couple of weeks have been really busy and crazy and this weekend isn't any different. we are heading to roanoke, AL to do a youth revival at a friend's church. we're excited. it's like we're traveling evangelists...er something! i think it will be a really great weekend. and when we get back, tony starts his new job as the youth pastor at aldersgate united methodist church. we have gotten to meet quite a few of the teens and they are awesome. they have been so welcoming already, as have all the parents we've met. i already feel like we're home.

wednesday we...i say "we", but i didn't help at all!...unloaded the truck. we had great helpers and it only took about an hour. that night a bunch of the teens came over and helped us unpack boxes. they were so much help! all in all, everything is going really well and i can't wait to get back next week and get back to unpacking and setting everything up.

jonah has transitioned AMAZINGLY well. we decided to put him in a "big boy bed" when we got here. up until now, he's been in a crib. i figured it was better to get all the transitioning out of the way in one big swoop before baby raena arrives! i was surprised at how excited he was about his new bed. i was planning on waiting until we got back from roanoke to start the new bed process. so we had the pack-n-play all set up for our first night here. yeah, he wanted nothing to do with it! he slept in his big boy bed the whole night! and then the next day for his nap and then last night again. he is freaking awesome! i mean, i know i'm a little biased, but still! last night we went and bought him new bedding, which he picked out. and what did he pick? thomas the train, of course. i will leave you with a picture that, i think, sums up his excitement...
