update:Emy

Last night I told you about how we prayed throughout our house...
Well, this morning when she was in her bathroom washing her hands, I heard her talking.
Not just talking
She was praying that someone would "love our bathroom, and be happy to have our house so we can get a house in Texas Tyler" (that is how she says where we are moving).
How much cuter can you get?

Emerson and I

I really cannot believe how old Emy is getting. She actually acts older than she is (maybe a 3rd child thing) but she is so fun to be around! Last night we had to go out to dinner (someone wanted to show our house at 7:45!) and with just she and I (no chaos from older siblings) I really enjoyed being with her! Also she has lost 3 teeth already! She turned 5 in January, and none of my kids lost their teeth that early.

Before we left the house, she and I went room by room to pray over our house. We walked into each room and said our prayers, and she was stinkin adorable! She would always start "Dear Lord, our Lord..." and at least 2 different times throughout the prayer she would say "and I love you so much Jesus". Sometimes we held hands, and sometimes we had our hands in the air, and sometimes we put our hands on a piece of furniture. She is precious.

It is hard...

Some of you will be surprised to see me write that I am sad to move from here. After my 5 years of Mississippi bashing (sorry people, but really it was all true) I will still be sad to move. One of the only reasons I can truly come to understand is that this is the place we have lived the longest!!! It may actually tie with living in WL (1992-1997), but that was a lOOOOng time and 2 children ago.
Today I read the roster of Kennedy's soccer team (here in MS) and I actually cried. Even though she has already made her team in Texas, I am still sad.
I guess it is just a part of moving, but one that I really didn't expect to feel leaving here.

only in Mississippi

Well, last night we officially became "rednecks"!
We went alligator spotting at 10:30pm. 6 adults and 9 kids on a pontoon boat in the Reservoir!
It was sort of fun, sort of scary and VERY buggy!!! It is LOUD at night on the water. All the frogs, birds, insects, alligators eating small children...lol
A fun night though, and I will miss the people we were with. They have said "We all decided, you are not moving, Corey can commute"
It's a thought...
