Mission Trip

On Friday, Dave is heading out on a new adventure! He is going on a mission trip to Africa. I can't quit say where he is going, due to safety issues (posting on web), but I would ask that you keep him in your prayers. He is going to be away for 17 days!!! Please pray for strength, it will take 3 days to get there by plane (talk about a little jet lage). He is going to be doing some electrical work, painting and plumbing. Dave is going on the trip with 2 other guys who will work along side with Dave, one will be working on the computer equipment and internet access. He will end the trip with a few days in Tanzania, Africa at the Nassau Theological College doing some odd jobs around there. But most of the trip will be in another part of Africa. I am so excited for Dave and the opportunity for him to serve God in this way! I just told him I might be a little jealous since I have always wanted to go to Africa.

As for Bo and I we will man the fort here at home, although I do plan on staying the weekends with my parents in town! We are also looking forward to the delivery of my new nephew while Daddy is away. He will be here any day! We are also looking forward to the basket of goodies that my mother-in-law put together for Bo and I while Dave is away. This was just a sweet and thoughtful idea! We love you Grandma and Grandpa Stutzman so much!

Our baskets are full of little goodies for Bo and I to open one each day while Dave is gone!!

Big Boy Room!

We have made the full transition into Bo's new room! He loves climbing up onto his new bed and playing in his room. It took 3 nights to get him to sleep through the night in his new bed, which we considered pretty good! He is now sleeping in there during naps and during the night. Which means I have been able to clear out the boy stuff in the nursery and have started to make it alittle more girly. We aren't changing to many things just a few pink things here and there to fit for Gracie.

As far as for Bo's room we bought him new bunk beds, but have decided for now to only have the bottom bunk put together. We thought the whole transition might go a little smoother if we didn't have to worry about the top bunk above him. He has also become quit the climber lately and I didn't want to find him up on the top quit yet! Plus we can crawl in and out a little better without it on there :) I am waiting for a few more little details to put together in there but other than that our little guy is no longer in a crib!

Cereal Time!

I have been hesitant to start letting Bo eat cereal out of a bowl w/ milk for a while (just didn't want to deal with the mess). But I finally gave in and let him do it all by himself last week. He did a great job the first day, but we tried again today and it was a big puddle to splash in! I guess he did have fun eating breakfast though:)
