Moving and Snow Daze...

I'm happy to report that we have successfully made the move from San Antonio, TX to Little Rock, AR.  It was a hectic week of moving and we are thankful to have this portion of our move complete.  Since Ryan had to go ahead to Little Rock, we were so thankful that my Mom was able to come and help me deal with the move and to help with Matthew.  She was a blessing and I wouldn't have been able to do it without her.  Plus, Matthew got to spend some quality time with his Nana!

Here are a few pictures of the moving week.  It was very difficult for Ryan to leave us and not be there to help with the move, but it worked out well for him to go ahead of us and have everything ready for our arrival to Little Rock.  Once again, God always provides exactly what we need just when we need it!

We stopped at a hotel in Dallas, TX to break the trip up a bit for Matthew.  We were all exhausted and it was so nice to sleep in a bed after sleeping on an air mattress for a week!  Matthew enjoyed his first hotel stay -- he really liked the big fluffy bed!

We finally arrived in Little Rock on Saturday evening.  Matthew was so excited to spend time with his Daddy -- and of course, he loved bath time!  We're living in a furnished house on base since most of our belongings are in storage and will be shipped to Japan.  It's not luxury, but it's comfortable and we feel fortunate to have a place we can call "home" during this time of transition.

Little Rock presented us with a nice little snow storm a week into our time here.  It was Matthew's first snow experience so we caught some of it on camera (although he wasn't sure what to think of it).  Ryan made a great snowman for us and we enjoyed a few cozy family days together!  So far, Little Rock has been great and we look forward to embracing our time here over the next 6 months before we make our final move to Japan.
