Finally, we've gotten our car situation figured out.  Our new (to us) '02 Passat is sitting in the driveway.  We're just thanking God right now for all of His goodness.  We know things could've been much worse then how they ended up.  We're even more thankful that we ended with a larger vehicle as we'll be adding to the family in a couple of months.  Yay!  So now we are praying that this car lasts us until we leave here in 2 1/2 years:)  

William is doing so great.  We've started putting him to bed a little bit later each night to get him ready for the trip in a couple weeks.  We've been praying that he'll be a good little traveller as sometimes he can get sick of car seats and not being able to play.  We plan to take a few toys, books, and his blankie to appease him in times of stress.  He's walking really well now and already wants his independence (doesn't like it when Mom and Dad hold his hand).  

Things with our new little one are going well.  We're in the 24th week and I was given a "go" on travel to the states next month.  Everything is still looking on track for October 14th.  It still seems so far away, but I know it'll creep up on us before we know it!  A friend of ours who is moving brought over a bunch of her sons clothing 0-9 months so I'm so thankful that we only need very few things when he's born:) Yay!!!

Tom and I are doing well, although we've both been thinking ahead with regards to our future after his 6 years are up.  We're tentatively thinking that we want to move back to the lakes closer to family.  I can tell that Tom is not completely happy with being in the military so I've been praying that something will come to him.  That God will direct him as to where he should go after all of this.  

13 days until we arrive in Iowa...  We love you all and can't wait to see you!
