Blogging Once Again

Christmas Pics...Enjoy!!

I know most of you must think that I had thrown in the blogging towel, but over the last few weeks, something had to go and unfortunately blogging had to be the one thing that had to hit the back burner. I apologize, but I think we are back on track. Not only have I finally found my computer once again after the move, but I may have found my sanity too (although questionable.) We are getting settled quite nicely in our new home and the kids seemed to have adjusted to their new rooms and surroundings. Rob and I love being so close to family and this Christmas holiday just confirmed our decision to move. We were 30 minutes to an hour from both families and there was no 3 to 4 hour car ride to endure in holiday traffic and for that we are very grateful!! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of JOY and Happiness. To play a little catch up on the goings on of the DeFoors, Sam is 201/2 months old now and is talking up a storm. He practically repeats everything he hears. As a matter of fact, you may think he is not listening but an hour or two later he says something that makes you go hmmmm?? Katie is 7 1/2 months old babbling and sucking her thumb like it's her job. I love that little thumb of hers. It never falls out of her mouth at night and she never seems to lose it:) Rob is doing amazing with his business here in the upstate, despite his "honey do" list that seems to get longer and longer every day. I will have to say that our house has been one project after another, but each one gives us a sense of completeness and hominess that we love. I am trying to develop a routine here and hoping to meet some new moms soon, so that I can get out of the house and play a little. All in all we are feeling good and looking forward to 2008. Can you believe it is going to be 2008?? I sure can't! One thing is for sure I am not expecting baby #3 for those of you who might be thinking we are making it an annual event. I promise to be more consistent with my postings! Take care and Happy New Year!

The Joy of Moving!

For those of you who might be wondering "Where are those DeFoors?" Well...we have been preparing our new home fast and furiously to hopefully move into before Christmas. We closed a week ago today and we have gotten a lot accomplished such as painting six rooms, framed in a large doorway to put in french doors, started a fence and work building and many more fun and labor intensive projects, but we are nearing the end (I hope!!) So with that said I apologize for the major slow down in postings. I have lots of backlogged postings to do, so they might just have to wait until later. We hope all of you are doing well and enjoying this amazing time of year. In all of our doings and goings we haven't lost site of what this time of year means...the birth of our loving & gracious Jesus Christ! We are so thankful for the blessing of His birth and the opportunity to celebrate His birthday. So to all of you we wish you a Joyous Christmas season and I promise to get back to blogging more regularly soon.

Psalm 67
May God be gracious to us and bless us

and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
that your way may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him!
